More country music!
This one helps me get it. SEEING the lyrics helps to make sense of the sentiment.
I love the way his “round up” verb doesn’t have an object. That’s very important. The object could be anybody. Very important to remember.
As I see politics more up-front and personal, but also PEOPLE, I’m seeing where things are both breaking and healing, and it’s hard for me to communicate the hope and frustration.
I also see the specialness of this place, and how the world needs more of what we have here – a kind of deep honesty without prejudice (used in all senses of the word).
Be the Q Tree, people!
I am beat from local work. But it’s good, too. Resting now, relaxing, and saying thank you for being here.

Word of The Week:
Dunning–Kruger effect
noun
The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias whereby people with low ability, expertise, or experience regarding a type of task or area of knowledge tend to overestimate their ability or knowledge. Some researchers also include the opposite effect for high performers: their tendency to underestimate their skills. In popular culture, the Dunning–Kruger effect is often misunderstood as a claim about general overconfidence of people with low intelligence instead of specific overconfidence of people unskilled at a particular task.
People are actually fairly good at estimating relative abilities, but they are not as good at estimating actual abilities – and the fit is increasingly bad at lower abilities, where people overestimate their own competence.
The effect is commonly used as a justification of authoritarianism by leftists and elitists, and as an argument in favor of the anti-popular positions of scientism.
In words
“The more you know, the more you know that you don’t know.”
“The less you know, the less you know that you don’t know.”
Relevance
There is a fake news site that exists for the purpose of fooling conservatives, and thereby discrediting them in the eyes of everybody else. As a form of insult to its victims, this website calls itself the “Dunning-Kruger Times”.
While the Dunning-Kruger Times (DKT) website claims that its stories are satire, the stories are always remarkably unfunny, and IMO are clearly not intended to be funny.
They are intended to be believable.
True satire sites of a similar nature typically run stories which slowly increase the level of absurdity until the reader recognizes hyperbole and begins to get the joke. These sites can be incredibly (no pun intended) funny, and have often had me breathless with laughter.
DKT never crafts funny satire. The goal appears to be to get reasonable people to see the story and recognize that the story is reasonable, likely to have occurred, and affirming of conservative values. The stories are easily posted to social media. The trouble is, the stories are never true.
As I have said, the stories are discrediting of whoever posts them, and many famous conservatives (Gov. Greg Abbott and Juanita Broaderick, most recently) have been fooled.
The stories are ALMOST libelous, but under the cover of satire, they remain protected and legal speech. Moreover, because the false allegations are very plausible, the accusations anticipate likely real positions by the people who are libeled, and are thus unlikely to be argued against.
It is my belief that these sites and stories are the work of the 3-letter agencies and/or the DNC, both as a psychological operation against Americans, and in particular as a way of discrediting those who would be expected to post or “like” the stories on social media.
For example, Juanita Broaddrick posted this valid tweet, showing significant public sentiment in favor of country music artist Jason Aldean.
Personally, I think that the DKT needs to be investigated all the way back to their (IMO) CIA, big tech, or DNC roots.
DKT is a discreditation site – a psy-op – and NOT a regular satire site.
Hey @elonmusk! Should @Twitter do something about "fake satire sites" that are designed to discredit target groups under the undeserved protection of "parody"? The very unfunny nature of DKT stories gives away their game of psy-op and plausibility.https://t.co/pu0tenqmhl

And we will have fun doing it, too!
Oh, yeah, baby!

WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL
by Duchess01
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.
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.
Call To Battle
Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.
Parthenogenesis is defined as “obligate” when organisms exclusively reproduce through asexual means, while it is “facultative” when species that ordinarily rely on sexual reproduction can resort to facultative parthenogenesis under extenuating circumstances that isolate females from males.
WARNING: This post is for CULTURE WARRIORS ONLY. You were warned.
INTRO
I thought about doing this post for a long time – maybe even before I started this site, which was back in September of 2018.
Then I actually FINISHED this post on September 14 of 2019.
And then I just let it sit in draft, for basically a year and a half. It just didn’t feel DONE, and people didn’t feel READY for it.
Well, today is DIFFERENT. I finished it up.
You see, NOW we read about “country rapper” Lil Nas X, who went from a novelty country song that nobody heard, to a video a few people saw, to a duet cover version with COUGH “father of Miley Cyrus” Billy Ray Cultural Marx… I Mean Billy Ray Cyrus, to an industry-self-congratulatory “CMA” award, to a guy in a cowboy hat with inverted crucifix earrings singing gay stuff to kids in some weird Disney deal, to…….
EVIL: Lil Nas X and MSCHF Release Nike Shoe Dedicated to Satan with a Pentagram and Human Blood in it – In a Limited Edition of 666 Pairs
Yeah. This is Country and Western on Chinese Fentanyl via Hollyweird.
OK. Let’s back up.
I KNOW that the issue of “country going downhill” is as old as country music itself. I mean, first there was ELECTRIC. And DRUMS. And ROCK. And OUTLAW. And…….
Yeah. Country changes. I get that. I LIKE that. SOME of the new stuff is really awesome, in that it actually mixes old root country with new interesting things. It reflects REALITY.
Country GROWS. Just like America. And beyond. That’s all good.
SIDEBAR: Kinda interesting that THEY chose to shoot up THIS guy’s concert.
THEORIES WELCOME.

And I even like some of the offbeat mutations. (Note, however, the CM on it.)

And sometimes country is just neat when it’s almost out of nowhere.
Hands off this song, you bluegrass liberals! This one is ours! It’s just “old timey”!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTmCfSFh_0A
And sometimes, the COOL of the MODERN just makes me think that I’ll trade in my truck for some of that “transhuman” crap RIGHT NOW if that PORT in the side of my head means that I get to listen to amazing stuff like this:
BUT…….
That ain’t what I’m talkin’ about.
I’m not talking about the MUSIC as much as the MESSAGES.
I’m talking about YURI BEZMENOV and DEMORALIZATION – which is SMART and much more subtle than just random issues of cultural modernization in country.
You have to wait for about 1 minute into this video to get to the point where Yuri explains psychological demoralization and how it works, as the first step of ideological subversion.
This is where my red lines are crossed – where country music is being POISONED. And those red lines are RELIGIOUS, CULTURAL and (to some extent) POLITICAL, going back to the undermining of basic morality.
I think I started to become AWARE of it under Obama, or maybe even under Bush, but when some Hillary PAC put out a country music song about CANKLES – well – GOOD LORD.
NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THOSE WHO DIE OF LAUGHTER WATCHING THIS VIDEO
Yeah, that was bad. But it got worse. The friggin’ CIA got on country stations, saying not to vote for Trump….
Yeah, you’ll just have to imagine somebody saying something intelligent about CIA domestic influence ops, and me responding intelligently about lying Obama CIA deputy Mike Morell of Benghazi video fame showing up on iHeart Country Radio shilling for Hillary Clinton right before the 2016 election.
But freakin’ Choomer Rasputin….
Yeah – THAT GUY – deciding that you can’t hear this stuff. THAT is how desperate they were to get Trump out of office.
But LATELY, the manipulation of Nashville by Hollyweird colonists has gotten REALLY strange. Country songs have WEIRD MESSAGES that are straight-up VIRTUE SIGNALING to some unstated future manipulation agenda.
They’re actually half-messages – those Orwellian absolutes that mean nothing – not even nonsense. They’re unattached emotions declared “good”. They’re serious discernments declared “bad”. They are like lullabies to BABIES – to TODDLERS. “Love is good.” “Hate is bad.” They are “fallible truisms” – quarter-turns or half-turns to FULL ORWELL.
Sometimes they hint at where they will be applied politically, but often they are just generic virtue statements – to be applied later.
They aren’t even OLD TRUTHS – much less COMPLEX STORIES.
And STORY – that’s another story.
Let’s go back for a moment, for comparison. Back when the current forms of socialist politicization of country music were just getting started, under Bill Clinton, in the 90’s.
I didn’t see it then – or rather, I didn’t ADMIT TO MYSELF that it was happening then – but I can certainly SEE IT and ADMIT IT now.
There was a kind of “crypto-feminist story” country genre, in which liberal murder fantasies against “country boys” were fulfilled through aggrieved white women in virtue-signal-filled, plot-laden, country songs. that ended with dead white “bad guys” of unstated but ominous nature, who had “wronged” in various nebulous ways the women who needed to take vengeance – frequently the wife or daughter.
The BAD MEN were clearly abusers – but the songs were just ambiguous and poetic enough to make EVERY MAN GUILTY.
It was “Billie Rae Jack” – or GOD in her stead – killing the old white guys in radio format.
Of course, these songs always sounded GREAT, and I cheered along with their EXCITING PLOTS and ENERGIZING MUSIC – even though I knew that *I* was the guy who was gonna be killed by the wife or daughter for rolling my eyes at some giant tin chicken.
Sorry – couldn’t resist. We men have to stick together under these circumstances. *wink*
I miss Daughn. That’s how long ago I was writing this sucker.
Remember those? THOSE SONGS have been the LITMUS TEST that country women have had to perform to “get credibility”. THAT or similar “agenda” songs. Gotta do one of those. Ya know? Gotta PLAY TO THE AGENDA or the CAREER ain’t goin’ nowhere, babe. Can I call you babe?
*SPIT*
Now – I am going to WAKE YOU UP. Right now. FUTURE PROVES PAST.
I love Martina McBride, by the way. Not sure if her pixie face here is real or Photoship or whatever. This is nothing on her. This stuff is so smart, it flies past almost all of us. It weaponizes EVERYTHING WE LOVE and ONE TRUTH AFTER ANOTHER to sell a SOCIETY-CHANGING MYTH.
Go back and WATCH THIS. LOOK at ALL THE SYMBOLS and WHAT THEY SOLD.
Look at how they INVERTED EVERYTHING.
FUTURE PROVES PAST. It was pure psychology – smarter than almost ANYBODY.
Sorry – I have HAD IT with the cultural Marxist ABUSE of the entire country music lifestyle as a way to CHANGE US and DESTROY AMERICA.
So NOW THIS.
Jack Posobiec, doing some kind of penance for recent laziness, seems to be hitting them out of the park this last week.
ANYWAY – finally – I’m putting it all together. What’s happening to country and western music.
The WAR ON COUNTRY has been going on a long time, and they have snuck in so many ringers, dupes and chumps – IN THE BACKGROUND – that “country” is starting to sound – quite frankly – nothing like country.
But just like “it’s not the MUSIC – it’s the MESSAGES“, we have the same thing here – it’s not the FACES, it’s the WORDS.
They use OUR faces – people we can relate to. PEERS.
The RINGERS are in the BACKGROUND. It is the SONG-WRITERS and THOSE WHO PICK WHICH SONGS GET AHEAD who are the real brokers of cultural Marxism in country.
By the way – is there anything in country music similar to the highly skewed cultural Marxist virtue signal emporium known as the “Black List”? If there was, that would sure explain a lot.
This is presumably the SAME as in media, where it’s not the REPORTERS, it’s the EDITORS.
See how it works? The ACTIVE PUPPETS ALWAYS hide behind HUMAN SHIELDS.
So – let’s dig more deeply into the assault. And here is how I see things.
There are two main forms of cultural Marxism attacking country – GENDER-BASED and BEHAVIOR-BASED.
GENDER AND COUNTRY
First of all, before we even deal with what is left in the country music scene, is the EVACUATION OF BIG TALENT.
Notice how FEMALE EXEMPLARS LEAVING COUNTRY (by any means necessary, or even BEFORE going country) is actually a “thing”. It’s a MESSAGE.
They always move the biggest ones OUT, too. ALWAYS.
THAT is a MESSAGE. It is an ONGOING and EVER-LASTING RURAL PURGE.
Nobody becomes MORE COUNTRY. Only LESS COUNTRY.
Remember that girl, when she was just a girl?
Stay with me, boys! I know it’s rough. It’s HARD to look away.
Kinda funny the way they have changed the objects of attraction from sexually dimorphic types to “boygirl” and “girlboy” types. Well, it’s INTENTIONAL. That’s why it changes so fast.
They are REWIRING ATTRACTION.
They are DECOUPLING ATTRACTION AND BIOLOGICAL GENDER.
They are REDEFINING OUR SEXUALITY.
They are MUTATING both the objects of attraction and the objects of self-image. Isn’t that the way that TRANS KIDS works, too? They are deconstructing GENDER FIRST and SEX NEXT.
Wait until pushy, face-palm, forcible TRANS hits country. Trust me – TRANS-COUNTRY is coming, and DON’T YOU BE A “HATER”, cuz YOU YOURSELF sung the anthems against “hate”.
You see what I’m sayin’?
We have NO VOICE in this, unless we fight it tooth and nail. And you had better fight NOW.
So now let’s get to BEHAVIOR, which is where the self-immolating CABAL gets more of the winnings from THEIR side of the deal.
BEHAVIOR AND COUNTRY
Yeah, Miley Cyrus ain’t country, and maybe she NEVER WAS, but that’s not how it works psychologically. Her relation to her FATHER matters subconsciously to you like a HOSTAGE, and THAT IS WHY THEY CHOSE HER. She will always will be a country baby hung over Hollywood crocodiles, psychologically, and THAT is why they did what they did.
They’re DEMORALIZING YOU.
WE THE VICTIMS pretend that psychology doesn’t last one second after the commercial, when the reality is that this stuff lasts our WHOLE LIVES and they have simply LIED TO US about it. They LIED to us that we can “change the channel” and it all goes away.
DO. NOT. BELIEVE THEM.
WAKE THE HELL UP and cut your cable, because on PRIME TIME they don’t show this stuff, but they TALK about it in the background of FAKE NORMAL.
You will notice that EVEN in the “six-mega-hit mash-up” video there is a massive appeal to easy lovin’ in almost every modern country ballad. I remember when this would have been as controversial in country music as #MeToo was for liberals a year ago. Yes, it was consensual premarital sex, but it was still SEX OUT OF WEDLOCK.
Trust me, this itty-bitty beginning of omnipresent sex in country doesn’t sound bad, but these people want WHITE FOLKS to start filling up the Cloward-Piven welfare rolls, and THIS is exactly how to do it, along with FENTANYL – fronted by the CHICOM PUPPETS. First they normalize the baby daddy, and then they normalize kicking him out, and then they normalize him running around proving that he’s a man using his stolen AR-15 as the new country gang-banger.
Sound familiar, but NEW, FRESH, and EXCITING?
The reason I get ahead of THEIR plots is because I can write THEIR stories before THEY bring them to reality. Before they FORCE and SUGGEST those stories into existence.
If you can’t see this shit coming from a mile away, and you would like to JOIN ME IN THIS WAR, then I strongly suggest that you need to cut your cable NOW.
Don’t listen to their chaff stories. Listen to your own.
The next WORLD WAR ain’t gonna be fought with anything like the last two.
It will be fought by PREDICTING THE FUTURE.
Be there before they even think about getting there.
This article really gives some insight into the “mentality of musical credibility” that is being used to sneak satanism into Country & Western music. You can just see how a slow and steady program of patient manipulation uses the desire of white and black Americans to “get along”, and the semi-knowing naivete of selected C&W artists, to allow the satanists and Luciferians to sneak in their devilish tricks.
LOL. Good Lord. When George Clooney playing a Soggy Bottom Boy is more real as Country music than Country music….
