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.
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:

Torba Fights Back Against German Censorship, Refuses To Block Access To Gab Or Implement Speech Regulations
“Why should we block an entire country from accessing Gab because their government is sending us fines we won’t pay and veiled legal threats that mean nothing to Gab as a US corporation?”
Andrew Torba, the CEO of Gab, has declared that he will neither restrict German IP addresses from his accessing his site, nor implement German censorship regulations, following a demand from the country’s government.
Andrew Torba had initially thought he would go along with the much more practical route of blocking German IP addresses. I was OK with that…. kind of….. but it BOTHERED ME.
Evidently, it bothered Torba, too. Enough that he changed his mind.
HALLELUJAH!!!
This is EXACTLY how to take a stand against GLOBONAZIS.
It is VERY instructive to read Andrew Torba’s open letter on his decision.
Please give that a click, although I am reproducing the letter here in its entirety for this site’s historical records.
This week we received a huge packet of documents with fines and legal threats from the nation state of Germany. Gab is refusing, and has refused for many years, to comply with the German Network Enforcement Act. Gab is a US company and as such we are under zero obligation to obey foreign laws from tyrannical governments.
For those unfamiliar, the Network Enforcement Act is a draconian German law aimed at combatting “fake news” on social networking websites. “Fake news” is of course, whatever the German Government says it is.
For example this week Facebook deleted 150 accounts belonging to an anti-lockdown movement in Germany, likely at the behest of the German government under the Network Enforcement Act.
Because of Gab’s unwillingness to participate in State-mandated censorship of free speech, the German government is now coming after our bootstrapped tech startup with heavy fines and other legal action.
Gab is not a lawless website. We work diligently to stop and prevent illegal activity from taking place on our platform. We have great relationships with many foreign countries who understand and respect our position on free speech and appreciate our zero tolerance for criminal activity. The German government isn’t concerned about any actual criminal activity, they are concerned with Thought Criminals who dare to dissent against their globalist regime.
According to our legal team, who has been working with us on this issue for several months, we have three choices.
Obey German censorship laws and start censoring content that the German Government doesn’t like (this is not going to happen)
Disobey German censorship laws and pick a fight with the nation state of Germany (I likely wouldn’t ever be able to leave the US again, they would come at us from every possible angle through state-sponsored deplatforming, heavy fines, they would possibly leverage contacts in the Biden Admin to come after Gab in other ways, and Lord knows what else.)
Temporarily stop providing this service in Germany by blocking German IPs.
I hate everything about these choices, which is why we went public with this information to gather feedback and consensus from our community on the topic.
The overwhelming majority of people have been very supportive of the third option. Our lawyers are suggesting this option. Our community is suggesting this option. I’ve had many people email me and reach out privately to say that this is our best course of action. We seem to have a consensus.
Yet it doesn’t sit right with me.
Ultimately as the CEO of Gab I alone need to make this decision. These are the types of decisions that define a man and make history. If we block German IPs to appease the German government that sets a precedent that other countries will want to follow. We are not IP blocking ourselves into a corner here. If the German government wants to stop German IPs from accessing Gab they can block us themselves.
Why should we block an entire country from accessing Gab because their government is sending us fines we won’t pay and veiled legal threats that mean nothing to Gab as a US corporation? I won’t be able to travel to Europe anyway because I’m not getting injected with an experimental substance. On the bright side I now have a huge stack of kindling paper for my wood stove this winter.
The reality is the German government has zero authority or jurisdiction over how we operate Gab. We have no corporate entity in Germany, we have no employees in Germany, and we are not German citizens. We are Americans.
In America you play by our rules, we don’t play by yours. Germany is a guest in our community and they will respect our values and way of doing things, not the other way around. I have nothing but love for the German people and they too deserve the fundamental human right to speak freely on the internet.
Our mission is to defend free speech online for all people, everywhere. Including in Germany. We will continue to do that, regardless of any threats from foreign governments. If we bow to Germany today, what’s to stop us from bowing to literal tyrants, such as those in Russia (like Google and Apple did just last week) or China (as Apple has done for years)?
In matters pertaining to serious crime, German police forces already know how to reach us, as indeed they have done many times in the past. We will continue to respond to those requests and provide prompt assistance to those police forces on a voluntary basis. What we will not do is restrict access to, or remove, content which is legal in the United States on or from servers in the United States.
As I write this today is the day the American Constitution was signed over 234 years ago. We must stand up now to defend it and fight for the freedoms enshrined in it, which come from God, for all nations.
I’m not sure what will come of this decision, but I will not make an important choice like this from a position of fear. I leave the outcomes of this decision in the hands of God Almighty and I pray that the German people will take back their country and freedoms very soon.
Until then: wir werden nicht nachgeben, “Nuts!”. (we will not comply, Nuts!)
This is the nature of true Christianity – as this priest describes in a too-long and badly titled video (talk about Fatima is less than a minute at the end), which nonetheless makes a FANTASTIC point near the beginning.
(H/T Gudthots)
Christ without the cross is NOT Christianity – it’s what SATAN offers as a cowardly substitute.
So we are going to have to stand up, and it will mean CONTACT WITH THE ENEMY.
Trump’s Imminent Reelection Already Causing Chinese Political Collapse and Supernova to Eject CCP and Anti-CCP Elements of Influence Into American Social Media
I hate to say this, but it needs to be said.
You are not going to have a choice. Nothing can stop what’s coming.
Twitter sticks its head in the SAND, while the EDGE OF SCIENCE moves elsewhere.
If you don’t have a Gab account, get one now, and I mean in the next 24 hours. Things are happening so fast, you will MISS THE BIRTH.
CCP is jumping onto Twitter, and the Chinese opposition is jumping onto GAB.
Now – the politics here are going to be INTENSE – and intensely complicated. Just like when the Soviet Union and the Iron Curtain “fell”, a LOT of it “fell on us”. That is exactly what will happen here. The problem is that China’s version of “perestroika” will have far more impact on the United States – not all of it good or pleasant. There will have to be much mitigation of negative effects. On the bright side, this is the SECOND time we will have dealt with this phenomenon. We have some experience.
I will do my best to explain some of the complexity, and I will warn you right now, my explanation of that complexity will include blunt talk about not just the horrorshow CCP, but also about the Chinese opposition. The Chinese opposition will be FILLED with factions, not all of which have the same goals and interests, other than ending the CCP – and even there, it’s not 100%. The Chinese opposition is also FILLED with CCP elements and assets, and cannot – no, make that SHOULD NOT – be universally trusted.
Beyond that, the GOALS of the Chinese opposition are not necessarily coincident with our own. “America First” means never going back to “sucker status” with any Chinese successor state. There are plenty of CCP controlled-opposition “sheltered capitalists” who are led around by a ring in their nose called “easy money – the way things used to be”. They want the CHINA HUSTLE to resume. CCP will USE THEM to try to make Trump go easy on China, and then to go easy on the CCP.
Likewise, the controlled opposition is filled with CCP spies, CCP apologists, and easily manipulated CCP-haters who can be depended on, by their knee-jerk opposition to anything CCP does or says, to carry disinformation and false messages, etc. Likewise, the fastest way for CCP to get to YOU is either through American assets like the Bidens, or through controlled opposition Chinese, generally in or from Hong Kong or Taiwan, but also through proxies which include Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, and others.
I will add more information to this thread as the election approaches. Please feel free to add ANYTHING about the China side of #BidenGate here – particularly if it helps explain things about the CCP or the opposition. I am particularly interested in anything relating to the Chinese opposition – please put that here, but be careful not to bring either doxxing of whistleblowers or CCP disinformation. Yes, the latter can be hard to spot. I will try to help explain, so don’t worry – not a problem if you bring it accidentally. Just be prepared for me to “explain your post” if it should not be taken at face value. This is INFO-WAR, and it will be intense.
Amy Coney Barrett, President Trump’s new Supreme Court nominee, is a reliable conservative juror likely to take a narrow reading of the Environmental Protection Agency’s authority to control carbon emissions.
That view, shared by several of her future conservative colleagues on the high court, could make it challenging for a Joe Biden administration to push the bounds on tackling climate change through the federal agencies without new legislation from Congress.
After several paragraphs of scaremongering, the money quotes – the substance – are at the end:
Barrett, like her former boss Scalia, is what’s known in the legal world as a “textualist,” believing that the Constitution and other statutes should be interpreted with the original intent of the text in mind. It’s a more rigid interpretation than some more liberal jurors, who see the Constitution as a living document, the interpretation of which can evolve and adapt over time.
Legal observers have suggested that Barrett could also take a more limited view of how much leeway the courts should offer to federal agencies in interpreting ambiguities in the law.
A 1984 Supreme Court doctrine, known as Chevron deference, generally allows agencies to interpret their own authority if the statute is unclear, so long as that interpretation is “reasonable.” Conservative justices such as Justice Neil Gorsuch, another textualist, have openly questioned that doctrine.
Reconsidering or limiting Chevron deference could further narrow the authority of federal agencies, which is particularly important for climate change, a subject that environmental statutes such as the Clean Air Act are largely silent on.
Any Coney Barrett is going to be KEY in reining in the Soviet Deep State which took over SCIENCE during the tenure of Soviet dupe Jimmy Carter.
Allow me to explain.
Part 1 – Media Control of Science
Notice in the first Trump-Biden debate, that Chris Wallace tried to CORNER Trump on his disagreement with MEDIA-CONTROLLED SCIENCE on the subject of “climate change”.
Media control of science is a KEY CONCEPT that most Americans are absolutely unaware of.
Most Americans simply do not understand that….
The MEDIA dictates scientific opinion, not the other way around.
Yes, you heard that right.
Opinion is a SOCIAL PROCESS, and SOCIALISM understands how to control opinion – EVEN scientific opinion.
But but but but but……..
Yes, it’s true that, for most of science which is not of concern to socialism, the only media control is political and not strictly science-related – to make scientists swear fealty to whatever racial and gender concepts are “in vogue” and “required” to get a job.
However, it gets worse from there.
Some science which conflicts with socialist GOALS and DOCTRINES – which can even be FALSE for political reasons – must be controlled. Studies on race and gender are, under American socialism, subject to control. Thinking on LGBT was CHANGED BY POLITICS – not by science.
In fact, that is a good place for me to note something very important.
MEDIA CONTROL OF SCIENCE is easiest on contentious issues where SCIENCE does NOT have a definitive answer. This is the easiest place for POLITICIZED SCIENCE to come through with answers, when real science cannot.
Ironically, CLIMATE was identified as a powerful social manipulator, but poorly understood in the long range. It was PERFECT for socialist control of people.
Where we should have slow and patient science, not having answers yet, socialists have instead “incubated” a kind of “cuckoo’s egg” science in its place. This “Fake Science” offers simple, “fear-is-a-virtue” answers in an area that is contentious, so it is very difficult for rational people to “shout down” a MEDIA which chooses the fear-mongering answer for POLITICAL OR FINANCIAL REASONS.
Now, there ARE more legitimate reasons for the “state” to control science, although this is abused as well. Some science which has profound implications – military, economic, or technological – must also be controlled. Certain things are NOT allowed to be discussed in the open literature.
However, climate and environmental science are NOT in that category. At least, not MUCH is in that category.
Note that SOCIAL FORCES were used by activists to control first environment (legitimate, but over-regulated ON PURPOSE) and then “climate” – the latter being a complete scam. Trump GETS THIS DEEPLY.
Let’s go back and look at what ACB will likely be UNDOING.
Part 2 – Soviet-Imposed Socialist Controls Through Science
Remember “Earth Day”? Oh, I do. I was a SHILL for it, in my youth.
The most amazing ideological child abuse recollection of our time! ADMISSION Eventually, it had to come out. I – notorious anticommunist Wolf Moon – was a communist SHILL as a youth. Of course, I didn’t realize at the time that I was shilling for communism, and perhaps other things, both good and bad, but that …
Yup. I SHILLED FOR EARTH DAY. This was not uncommon. This was every bit as political as having students protest against weirdly coincidental and sketchy “gun violence”, except that “saving the environment” seemed like such a nice thing – how could it be political? How could it be bad? How could it be dangerous?
BUT IT WAS. We simply didn’t see the END GAME.
Consider how far socialists moved in just 6-10 years, from the cultural victory of installing “Earth Day” on the centennial of Lenin’s B[earthday] in 1970, to being able to control American industry without even a congressional hearing, through Carter’s EPA bureaucracy in 1980.
Ten years.
Nixon was cornered. Ford was irrelevant. Carter was controlled. Reagan was deceived.
In just a few short years, the Soviets and China had significant control of the United States by INFILTRATION, NOT INVASION.
If you want to play in the big leagues, you have to know what strategies the other side plays TIME and TIME and TIME again. COUGH. Knowing that the FAKE NEWS is actually on China’s side helps. Knowing that the FAKE NEWS has been there a LONG, LONG TIME helps even more. Playing long ball …
If we go back to STATED, WRITTEN, AGREED INTENT of the law, then you had better believe that nobody in America was thinking that unelected bureaucrats regulating CARBON DIOXIDE as a “pollutant” was a good idea, much less part of the deal.
And yet, here we are. American industry HOBBLED BY FALSEHOODS.
JIMMY. CARTER. WAS. A. STALINIST. DUPE.
Carter imposed everything the Soviets needed to bring America to heel, because the Soviets UNDERSTOOD HIM DEEPLY. They had forces in place in the Democrat Party and in Carter’s personal life to make Carter do the right thing FROM THEIR POINT OF VIEW.
The Soviets and the AMERICAN MEDIA – which they influenced from behind – were able to get Americans to install a SOVIET BUREAUCRACY. Then, through CARTER JUDGES and CLINTON JUDGES, as well as CLINTON APPOINTEES, they were able to get this bureaucracy to grab more power than the laws ever intended for it to have.
Yes – JUDICIAL LEGISLATION. Part of the outcome of ROTATING BRANCH FUNCTIONS into an UNAMERICAN CONFIGURATION.
This is actually beautiful. daughnworks247 saw the beautiful thought that led to this larger realization, on today’s thread about Lisa Page and David Bowdich, which was inspired by Sundance’s post on the same revelations. The same post in text, for our low-vision readers…. daughnworks247January 12, 2019 at 12:31 pm Hey, the whole “Gross Negligence” is …
SULLIVAN. SCHIFF. COMEY. It’s all WRONG, because they MADE IT WRONG. It’s a brilliant way to GAIN UNCONSTITUTIONAL POWERS.
There is only ONE PLACE to undo this damage – in SCOTUS. This is why the left is now absolutely opposed to undoing the DAMAGE that bench-legislating Carter and Clinton judges did, when they exceeded their authority and assisted the bureaucracy in accruing illegitimate power (bureaucrats JUDGING).
Part 3 – The Solution: Judicial Reset
President Trump and Mitch McConnell pulled off one of the greatest tactical “legal resets” in history, by making Obama hesitate to pass judges, waiting for a Hillary Clinton presidency. By THWARTING THAT CHEAT ELECTION and KEEPING THE SENATE, every judge which would have been appointed by corrupt Hillary Clinton was instead appointed by President Trump.
You don’t think there was a plan? THERE WAS A PLAN.
At this point, the RAGING LEFT can do nothing but threaten to install more corrupt judges by PACKING THE COURTS. That’s COURTS, PLURAL.
To do that, they will have to win the election.
GOOD LUCK, TRAITORS.
Meanwhile, we need to get RECOVERY JUDGES on SCOTUS. Amy Coney Barrett is merely number three. There will be more. But in the meanwhile, we must defend Judge Barrett – soon to be Justice Barrett – with every ounce of energy we have!
And now – let’s talk BOLSHEVIKS – like VALERIE JARRETT.
Bolshevism ≠ Judaism
One would THINK it was not necessary to deal with the idea that WORDS GENERALLY MEAN WHAT THEY MEAN AND NOT SOMETHING ELSE, but the sad fact is that there is so much “code” in the world of extremist ideologies like radical socialism, and in the racial and religious obsessions like antisemitism, and worse still in their propaganda and accusations, that one has to sometimes remind people how to distinguish lying propaganda from reality when BIG LIES hover nearby.
When Bolsheviks and antisemites are “on the ropes”, they will both REACH for conflation as a final defense.
It takes CLARITY and unforgiving truthfulness to put this crap down.
So before I get to the latest revival of the old accusation by antisemites that “Bolsheviks = Jews”, let’s look at an easier, similar case that was recently beaten down the other way.
Let’s go back momentarily to one of the more recent conflation defenses – the idea that that criticism of “globalism” was “antisemitic”. In other words, this defense stated that “globalists” was code for “Jews”.
I always loved to shoot down that one, because it was just so easy. Most of the top “globalists” are clearly NOT Jews, starting (as I love to start) with one of the most outrageous globalists of all, Barack Hussein Obama, and running through every Obama hack and European leader one can imagine. Lagarde, Merkel, Hillary, Mogherini, I mean, you almost have to drag out Sarkozy – barely a globalist, in my opinion, to even get a live Jew in the bunch.
Kissinger? Yeah. I will give you that one. And like globalism, we’re talking “almost expired”.
OK, one may say. What about financiers and billionaires? There surely have to be some Jewish globalists there – right?
Soros? In my opinion, definitely a globalist, but not exactly a coherent one. He seems more of an outright socialist to me – even some kind of communist tool, but let’s just call him a globalist anyway – maybe even a stereotypical one. We expect globalists to include a lot of people, and OMG there will be some Jews in the bunch. Even at the top.
Whoops! Sorry – must have been the headgear. *WINK*
Seriously – most “globalists” simply aren’t Jews, just like most people aren’t Jews. There may be some people who use the word as code, but it’s bad code, and the word “globalist” REMAINS USEFUL for precisely what it means – people who believe in some kind of global government that erases national sovereignty. Stated as plainly as possible, the vast majority of globalists – and even most of the top ones – are NOT JEWS.
Please note – in this case, GLOBALISTS and DEFENDERS OF GLOBALISM were attacking opponents of globalism by raising a false “antisemitism defense“.
This is EXTREMELY COMMON on the left. There is even a Twitter bot called “Antisemitism Cow” that people can tag to “moo” if, in “its” judgment, somebody is an “antisemite”. What it actually does is precisely what it’s name is – it “cows” people into toeing the line on leftist propaganda about what is antisemitic and what is not.
I hope you will stop and get the cunning of that – the sick joke. This is a bot that cows people with bogus accusations of antisemitism, called “Antisemitism Cow”. How cute. Most people don’t STOP and question it – instead, they COWER. Ha-ha – MY JOKE.
I’ve called “Antisemitism Cow” a BOLSHEVIK to its face, and that leads precisely to the next topic.
This “antiglobalism = antisemitism” meme can be played backwards and in reverse, and confronting THAT particular fallacy is today’s message.
Now – one would THINK that it’s entirely obvious that Bolsheviks include pretty much anybody who falls for the scam of Bolshevism – meaning violent communism.
Granted, Bolshevism is not much worse than other kinds of communism (see lying, cheating, sneaking Mensheviks and Trotskyists), but it means what it means – actual, live, honest-to-God BOLSHEVIKS – communists who advocate stealthy and EVENTUALLY violent revolution to secure a communist state. They will LIE about the stealth and the violence as well.
Antifa and BLM are BOLSHEVIKS.
Now, Antifa members – most of whom are NOT JEWS – will whip out the “antisemitism” accusation and defense against their enemies pretty fast, but BLM includes a LOT of blatant and vociferous antisemites, so overall, these organizations demonstrate – IN MY OPINION – that antisemitism and Judaism are pretty much orthogonal (i.e., unrelated) to Bolshevism.
HOWEVER – as with “globalism”, there are people who try to conflate these things. Bolsheviks will dodge, like globalists, behind the “antisemitism defense”.
But it also plays the other way.
Extremely blatant antisemites (who I observe on Gab) will now proudly and unequivocally equate Bolsheviks with Jews. If you push back with counterexamples and evidence that this is absurd, because the vast majority of Bolsheviks simply ARE NOT JEWS, they will ultimately fold down to the accusation that Bolshevism is a “Jewish plot”. And there you have it. That is how you know what you’re dealing with.
The people who push it are NOT standard right or left. They are almost always outright, unabashed, proud antisemites. Most are somewhat on the right but tend to hate or diminish Trump as a supporter of Israel – others are “national socialists” and push socialism with extreme racial aspects. The common thread is raw, naked antisemitism. That is the core of where they are coming from.
At this point, it’s very important to remember that many of the strongest anti-communists are either Jews or huge defenders of Judaism and Israel. If Bolshevism is a Jewish plot of some kind, the plotters sure sent a lot of very effective uncontrolled opposition to the other side.
Sorry – there are WAY too many Jews who are on the front lines against Bolshevism for this argument to wash.
This is where I think we have to simply push back on such people – just like we did on the other end of the other fallacy.
Bolsheviks are Bolsheviks. Any other usage or insinuation is filled with agenda and deception.
Pushing back does not necessarily mean engaging these antisemites directly – these are often very nasty people. But it does mean countering their message.
As I hope I have done right here and now.
I see these people as part of the division – the stuff Q is warning us about. They use the “big lie” technique, even though they are small fry. They just push these memes over and over until they get people to “accept the code” at a subconscious level.
Don’t fall for it.
In my opinion there will likely be some attempt, at some point, to paint QAnon as either antisemitic, a Jewish plot, or both, depending upon the audience, merely because these are the final defenses of the guilty. Don’t fall for it, don’t back down. WE MEAN WHAT WE SAY. End of story. Q means what Q says. End of story.
DEMAND AND EMBRACE CLARITY – NOT CODE OR ALLEGATIONS THEREOF.
We are getting into the nastiest part of the storm. Buckle up.
Well, maybe that’s a bit of an overstatement. Maybe a bit of a bad attribution. Maybe a bit poetic.
If anybody thinks Andrew Torba of Gab isn’t leading the way to freedom, they’re not being honest. But the President Washington of MAGA certainly helped.
This is simple, yet seems complicated because it’s very new and mind-altering, so stay with me.
None of this would have been possible without Trump. Let’s be honest. The communists did their best to destroy Gab, but – HAHAHA – because Trump held the socialist scum off at the pass – long enough that Gab was able to save themselves – Gab is about to destroy communism (knock on wood).
Well – it’s more like Gab is going to make their liddle communist lives QUITE miserable, but that’s almost the same thing

Brazilian President-elect Jair Bolsonaro, elected thanks to Free Speech on Gab.
SAO PAULO (Reuters) – Brazil’s far-right President-elect Jair Bolsonaro said on Saturday he plans to issue a decree allowing all Brazilians without criminal records to own firearms, welcome news to many core supporters who want him to loosen Brazil’s strict gun laws.
Throughout his campaign, Bolsonaro had pledged to dismantle Brazil’s current gun legislation, which presents various bureaucratic and legal obstacles for people seeking to purchase firearms. That message appealed to many Brazilians who want to use guns for self-defense amid sky-high levels of violent crime.
“By decree, we plan to guarantee the ownership of firearms by citizens without criminal records,” Bolsonaro, who takes office on Jan. 1, wrote on Twitter on Saturday.
