Election 2023 – The Final Stretch
Ohio Issue 1 is definitive. This is the ultimate groomer amendment, backed by the commies, begging to be added to the state’s constitution.
I will be doing what I can, which is never enough, to help defeat this monstrosity.
The choice is stark.
If this passes, parents will lose control of their kids FROM BIRTH – if the babies even make it that far.
I won’t be here on The Q Tree most of the time, during this home stretch, but I invite ALL OF YOU to bring the ammunition here. Bring the news about EVIL Issue One! Help me alert the nation to what they are doing in Ohio, which is worse than what they did in Michigan. Help the people of Ohio stop the insanity of “reproductive freedom” of CHILDREN FROM BIRTH.
After today, I will copy this post as a placeholder until the election is over. I will comment occasionally, but I will have to fight every day to STOP ISSUE ONE.

Word of The Week:
Brix
unit of measurement
Degrees Brix (symbol °Bx) is a measure of the dissolved solids in a liquid, and is commonly used to measure dissolved sugar content of an aqueous solution. One degree Brix is 1 gram of sucrose in 100 grams of solution and represents the strength of the solution as percentage by mass. If the solution contains dissolved solids other than pure sucrose, then the °Bx only approximates the dissolved solid content. For example, when one adds equal amounts of salt and sugar to equal amounts of water, the degrees of refraction (BRIX) of the salt solution rises faster than the sugar solution. The °Bx is traditionally used in the wine, sugar, carbonated beverage, fruit juice, fresh produce, maple syrup and honey industries. The °Bx is also used for measuring the concentration of a cutting fluid mixed in water for metalworking processes.

And now for some useful scoop from the front lines.
TL;DR – Ohio has a sneaky “children’s sexual rights amendment” on the ballot.
In the course of our political work, I’ve come into contact with an interesting assortment of people representing a wide variety of political interests. There is often some “adjacency” and “intersectionality” as the other side loves to say, and in particular we run into specific candidates, issues or causes which matter to our group.
You may or may not have been following the August “Issue 1” vote in Ohio, which was designed to make it harder to amend the Ohio constitution – meaning a 60% vote for passage of amendments instead of just 50%. The proposal had other features that weakened it, but the main factor leading to its defeat was the fact that the Ohio Dems had an abortion amendment coming in November, and that amendment was unlikely to get 60%+ support. The Demmunists got out the vote to defeat fundamental improvement of the Ohio constitution, using abortion. It worked like crazy.
The new abortion amendment is likely to pass in November, ironically as “Issue 1”, but worried Dem operatives have confided that the proposal has two weaknesses which give them a bad feeling. Some have even called these two problems “poison pills” in the amendment.
One is that the amendment leaves open the option for abortion due to “mental health of the mother” until birth, despite otherwise making abortion restrictable once the baby is viable (which is not well-defined). Pro-life forces can usually get voters out to the polls on this.
The other weakness is that the amendment implicitly removes parental rights regarding one’s own children, because the “reproductive rights” are granted to “individuals”, not adults. The term “individuals” is designed to include teens, and even logically includes younger children. So the right-to-life people are focused on the problem of abortion without the consent of the parents. This is also something that can bring pro-life voters to the polls.
But THESE are not the worst aspects of the bill.
The part of the amendment which grants this right to all individuals, which necessarily includes children of unspecified age, covers not just abortion, but anything of a reproductive nature. The amendment uses specific language to say that it is not limited to the examples listed, which include abortion and fertility, but which curiously do not include sex change or “gender affirming care” – and yet these things and more would clearly be covered as reproductive.
In other words, this amendment is a sneaky way to take away all parental rights regarding sex change of children – or indeed, anything else touching on reproduction.
I repeat – this amendment allows children to submit themselves to “gender change”, and takes away all parental rights to oppose it.
The amendment MAY even take away parental rights regarding sex education, or anything where the “individual” has “reproductive rights”.
Do you see what they’re doing here?
The amendment uses tricky lawfare wording to distract and deceive voters, implying that it is mainly about abortion, when it is dangerously relevant to transgender issues.
An overt sexual rights amendment for children could never pass, but an abortion amendment might.
It’s very interesting to note that Ballotpediavery deceptively HIDES the sneaky “not limited to” wording of the amendment in their description of it, except when they are forced to quote the amendment verbatim.
Et tu, Ballotpedia?
The Dems are getting ahead of the storm on the REAL sneakiness by making sure the controversy is all about Republicans changing the term “fetus” to “unborn child” on the text of the ballot issue, which generally clarifies the abortion part without changing the meaning in any significant way, in my opinion. Thankfully, the Republicans did NOT try to conceal the “not limited to” part, so we can still make that case without contradiction.
Very typical Dem behavior – distract to a smaller, winnable controversy. And, of course, the leftist media is helping. And very typical RINO idiot behavior, following the left’s laser pointer focus on minor stupidity instead of WINNING on the fact that this is exactly what the Democrats call it: Ohio Issue 1, Right to Make Reproductive Decisions Including Abortion Initiative. The trick is, this amendment should really be called Ohio Issue 1, Children’s Right to Make Reproductive Decisions Including But Not Limited To Abortion, Sex Education, Gender Reassignment, and Sex with Adults Initiative.
Are you seeing how bad this is, and how stupid the Republicans are?
They should be printing up yard signs in big bold letters:
SAY NO TO CHILDREN’S SEXUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT
This bill for an amendment, if it passes, will destroy public education in Ohio. [Admittedly, some conservatives are actually rubbing their hands in glee at this possibility!] Teacher’s unions will be utterly free to “trans your kids” and even more, under the color of an “individual’s reproductive rights”. Whether the bill destroys education completely depends on whether private schooling can lock out transgender ideologues from their teaching staff. Nobody can trust left-wing teachers once this passes.
So watch out for this CHILDREN’S SEXUAL RIGHTS AMENDMENT – which is definitely a DEMS CAN TRANS YOUR KIDS AMENDMENT – and see if the national conservative media catches on to its insidious nature RE spreading the trans agenda to red states using abortion. If they don’t, Ohio will join Michigan and California as a “fleeing resident” state starting next year.
Note how the “pro-choice” side and the old feminists (including TERFs) were THROWN UNDER THE BUS by the Pritzker transgender males to get their much bigger agenda into law. “You want to protect abortion, ladies? Here, try this amendment!” The Pritzkeroids don’t care if people catch on and abortion is defeated, because their number one fundraising issue is still preserved if they lose. A simple 12-week bill (Robert Kennedy Jr. gets this) would PASS and WIN in Ohio, satisfying everybody on their bottom lines, but NO, we can’t have THAT!
Does the amendment do anything to protect pedophiles and sexual consent by minors? With the lunatic leftists on the Ohio Supreme Court, I am certain that it does. These goofballs actually decided that bail increases based on danger of the accused individual to the public were illegal, until an amendment to allow higher bails for dangerous criminals was passed over Demmunist objections.
Remember – THIS BILL ENSHRINES REPRODUCTIVE/SEXUAL RIGHTS FOR MINORS.
The left always goes too far. The trick is catching them early.
And here I thought this was an exciting election already!
You will notice that I didn’t just entitle this post “Wolf Moon’s Perspective on the Ohio Primary Election”. You see, due to Democrat lawfare in Ohio, Ohioans are actually going to have TWO Ohio primaries this year. There is a SECOND one in August, thanks to Democrats.
It’s a complicated story, but the Cliff Notes version is this. The Democrats plus their narrow majority in the state Supreme Court have enabled the communist DNC to completely disrupt the electoral process. So why would they do that? Well, in my opinion, it’s because disrupting the electoral process, and particularly the redistricting process, is the only form of “control” that Democrats still have in Ohio. In order to LEAD and in order to REMAIN RELEVANT, while not actually serving voters, Democrats will resort to literally anything to “set the agenda” and thus to appear to be in control.
Because there was no time for the Republican Secretary of State to resolve issues involving state districts in time for the May 3rd primary, all those candidates are kicked down the road to an August primary.
And do you want to know who’s behind this madness?
Eric Holder. And, next up the chain of commie command, Obama, the actual “Soros president”.
Seriously, Eric Holder is behind the Democrat electoral lawfare in Ohio. The strategy is called “Sue until they’re blue.” I have this knowledge directly from the mouth of Ohio’s current and next Secretary of State, Frank LaRose, who THANKFULLY won his primary.
See how this works? Once the Democrats – and George Soros – control the Secretary of State, elections will turn the state communist. You cannot vote your way out of communism, and you almost can’t keep from being falsely voted INTO IT.
Complicated business.
Anyway, this leads directly into one of the things I want to talk about, so let me GO BACK to the beginning, and explain what this post is all about.
Elections have consequences, and this election was a BIG ONE for Ohio – possibly bigger than the general election. Is MAGA going to dominate Ohio, or is “Kasich Republicanism” – a toadie of the globalists and Democrats – going to creep back into control? I spotted the big races very early, and have mentioned them in several posts during 2021 and 2022.
Here is a quick bibliography of some of the posts most directly concerned with Ohio races.
(December 20, 2020) This is where I saw how DeWine was not only going to sit on his rear end, in Kemp and Ducey style, over the stolen election – he was going to let people in his administration help the other side. Tsk-tsk! His people openly helped BLM drive patriots away from the Ohio Statehouse. Shame! This was the beginning of the massive anti-DeWine vote that we saw last night in the Ohio gubernatorial election. DeWine’s failure to stick up for Trump – and more importantly for RULE OF LAW – alienated a large part of his base.
On the bright side, Ohio probably got constitutional carry (coming in June) because DeWine was desperate to get past the primary. More on that below.
(February 19, 2021) This is where I immediately spotted the race to replace Senator Rob Portman as a key juncture in the future of Ohio politics. My early favorites were Josh Mandel – a DIEHARD MAGA Trump supporter – and Jane Timken – the state party chair who won the state for Trump in 2016, and who kept the state pro-Trump for 4 long years.
That Trump chose NEITHER ONE to endorse – well – THAT is a big story I will get to later in this post.
(July 21, 2021) This is where Trump’s endorsement of Mike Carey came into play, and shook up Ohio MAGA. Trump was not only grabbing the steering wheel from the GOPe – he asserted dominance over where the MAGA movement was going to go. Most “non-establishment” Republicans were favoring other MAGA candidates. Trump chose Carey and stuck by his guns. The Trump endorsement RULED.
This post, and several referenced therein, are also worth reading if you want some nitty-gritty on strange happenings in Ohio politics, thanks to Dirty Devious Democrats always trying to jimmy the machine of Ohio Republican Machine Politics.
(September 3, 2021) Mandel came out STRONGLY against the stolen election, and began hosting media appearances / voter engagements in churches. The media did everything possible to downplay these events. Things were definitely heating up. Josh was winning my vote.
(October 28, 2021) This stance won me over completely to Renacci. Ohio simply cannot afford to keep making the mistakes of lockdowns, mandates, and other DEMOCRAT POISON PILLS. DeWine keeps getting sucked into deadly virtue signals. Renacci is naturally skeptical of such nonsense.
(April 3, 2022) This is where Renacci almost made it. “Ohio could have had a DeSantis.”
The May Primary Results
So now let’s get back to the results of the primary.
There were THREE races on the ballot that mattered most to me.
Secretary of State – Guardian at the Gate
This was an important vote. I’m not sure why the LaRose defense of Ohio from George Soros (LaRose can’t say Soros – he has to say “Holder”) isn’t more of a story on the right, but Ohio is literally one office away from turning communist like Colorado. One Jenna Griswold and we’re done. Pennsylvania-level fake elections would be the rule.
Trump’s complete endorsement of Frank LaRose showed that Trump knew DAMN WELL that Ohio needed this fighter back on the job in 2022. Yeah, LaRose had to play a fine line with saying that Ohio elections were secure, and admitting that America has a FAKE ELECTION problem, but it’s quite obvious now, with the evidence presented in 2000 Mules, that elections are a WAR in America.

There are a bunch of write-in and small-fry candidates for Ohio Secretary of State, including “Tore Says” blogger Tore Maras, but the actual SoS will be either Frank LaRose or unqualified Democrat activist Chelsea Clark, who appears to have been hand-picked by Holder.
COLUMBUS – Forest Park City Councilwoman Chelsea Clark announced a Democratic bid for Ohio secretary of state Wednesday.
“I’m running for secretary of state because politicians in Columbus like (Ohio Secretary of State) Frank LaRose have embraced MAGA lies, pushing voter suppression and massive purges from our rolls to stop Ohioans from voting who don’t always agree with them,” Clark says in an announcement video.
Clark is one of many Democrats who oppose GOP election reform proposals, which would limit drop boxes and eliminate voting on the Monday before Election Day.
Clark wants to extend early voting to 35 days, set up automatic voter registration and eliminate voter purges. “It’s a constitutional right. Not use it or lose it,” she said.
This woman is, IMO, a Soros / Holder cheat-enabler of the worst kind. If she becomes Secretary of State, “real” elections are history.
I watched my vote get scammed at the drop box by cheating Dems. NEVER AGAIN. Get ’em out.
LaRose has been a god-send, and Ohio needs him back on the job, standing up to Eric Holder.
My only quibble with LaRose is that he doesn’t realize that the cheating is even WORSE than what is publicly known – that it’s even worse than he thinks. LaRose is very savvy to the lawfare angle, and THANK GOD for that. However, his trust in voting machine technology, including tabulation technology, is probably too high, IMO. Even for a special forces type who likely GETS how amazing spy tech can actually be.
When confronted with questions about machines being “on the internet” or not, LaRose shows (IMO) susceptibility to the smooth narratives that voting machine companies can be believed, trusted, or even trusted after “routine” inspection of machines.
No. Just NO.
The reality of dirty, rotten, left-controlled tech (which I understand, because I’ve been on the inside) is that people in management and their dirty tech lackeys LIE in the most amazing and almost impossible-to-prove ways. Even simple definitions are used to derail legitimate inquiries.
When people like us say machines could be “on the internet”, what we mean is that ANY kind of cellular or electromagnetic connection to the machine (via radio waves, microwaves, WiFi, cellular, RFIDs, whatever) counts as putting the machine at risk. This kind of tech can be easily added to circuit boards with little or no visibility. The first layer of risk is an actual modem of any kind – announced or unannounced. The next layer of risk is circuitry that can effectively function as a modem, receiver, transmitter, or other communications device.
Just consider RFID technology, and how something like a CREDIT CARD – still in a wallet – could be used to interact with a voting machine of any kind, as long as it has circuitry that can interact with RFIDS. If there is the slightest corruption in the company or its contractors – many of which are not even in the United States – then the compromising technology will not even be published in the specs of the machine. Only a VERY skeptical electrical engineer – likely with some cyberwar experience – examining the hardware before and after the election – is likely to even ask the right questions.
Are you starting to understand how easy it is to CHEAT in the DESIGN of voting or tabulation machines, as long as you sneak a few CIA-level “Q” types into the voting machine company design teams? OR their contractors?
This is a no-brainer. Voting machine design can be subverted to enable cheating. Do not trust the machines – EVER. And now that we’ve got a paper trail, it’s time to DOUBLE the watch on the tabulation machines.
In any case, LaRose won, and now it’s time to make sure he can take on Chelsea Clark.
US Senator – Will Ohio Send MAGA to DC?
The answer is almost certainly YES now.
This was a resounding victory for Trump, in light of Trump’s JD Vance endorsement. What’s even sweeter to me is that unendorsed MAGA candidate Josh Mandel – strongly supported by “Club For Growth” PAC (meaning Koch brothers and Chamber of Commerce) as a way to take down Vance, still managed to beat the Ohio GOP Machine candidate Matt Dolan. Dolan isn’t actually a terrible candidate, but (IMO) he’s still likely to be part of the “Decepticon” problem that Sundance always rages about. Dolan would be one of the first in line to bless any properly presented war. Dolan would support Mitch McConnell – because he’s a machine guy. Dolan would support whatever the UNIPARTY all agreed on – to the detriment of actual Americans.
In my opinion, Trump endorsed Vance because he trusts Vance to not be suckered by the GOPe or the UniParty. Mandell is similarly MAGA, IMO, but is likely to have a chain that can be pulled by the MIC, whereas Vance – though having a military background as well – is likely to be more skeptical of such neocon manipulations.
Beyond that, Vance is almost a pure political outsider. I believe that Trump saw a real opportunity here, to go AGAINST career politicians. In that sense, I think he saw Vance as being much like himself – and I would agree with that.
It was not hard at all for me to go along with Trump’s endorsement. I trusted Trump’s STRATEGY in going with J.D. Vance.
I believe that Vance is going to be able to win in November.
As for the others, Trump has a bunch of great people to raid for his administration. These are all excellent MAGA people – FIGHTERS – and we need them SOMEWHERE, IMO.
Josh Mandell Jane Timken Bernie Moreno
That third name is not in the list of runners-up.
Bernie Moreno is an interesting guy. I’ve listened to him – he’s an excellent candidate. He was actually one of the leaders in the race for a while. And yet, he dropped out of the race after talking to Trump.
“I asked for a private meeting with President Trump this afternoon to discuss the state of the Ohio Senate race,” Moreno said in a statement Thursday. “I am a businessman, not a politician. Business leaders recognize patterns before they happen. After talking to President Trump we both agreed this race has too many Trump candidates and could cost the MAGA movement a conservative seat.”
Moreno is the first to drop out of the GOP primary, and his departure came one day after he filed candidate paperwork with the secretary of state’s office. Also running for the nomination are former state treasurer Josh Mandel, former Ohio GOP chair Jane Timken, “Hillbilly Elegy” author J.D. Vance, state Sen. Matt Dolan and investment banker Mike Gibbons.
Moreno, like several others in the race, used his personal wealth to boost his bid. He loaned his campaign $3.75 million last year and kicked off a $4 million TV ad spree in December, but his contributions began to decrease after starting strong over the summer.
Internal polls released by multiple campaigns in recent months show Mandel at the top of the heap, but they also indicate many voters are still undecided about their preferred candidate. Trump’s endorsement would help set the candidates apart, although it’s unclear if or when he’ll wade into the race.
Trump commended Moreno’s decision to exit the race in a statement: “He has done much for Ohio and loves his State and our great MAGA Movement. His decision will help ensure the MAGA Ticket wins BIG, as it is all over the Country.”
Looks like Trump was right. He cut back the splitters just enough to send a winning MAGA candidate past the machine boy.
Smart.
Governor – DeWine Saved by Splitter Strategy
This was a disappointment, because Ohio could have had a DeSantis, if Renacci had won. However, looking at the half-full glass, DeWine is a guaranteed win in November. Beyond that, it is very likely that DeWine understands he needs to move right on key issues where he can find support.
DeWine was presented with a constitutional carry bill shortly before the primary, and he did what he had to do, which was to approve it. But even with that nod to the base, you will note that the anti-DeWine vote (52% total) exceeds his own share (48%).
We may never know if Blystone was pushed by the media to protect DeWine from Renacci, or if Renacci was the machine’s answer to Blystone, or a little of both. No matter what, Ohio is now “stuck” with 4 more years of Mike DeWine.
Will I support DeWine? HELL YES. The man can and will keep this state out of Eric Holder’s grubby communist hands. Trump didn’t endorse Renacci, and – sadly – it was a smart decision, for whatever reasons Trump had. Trump may have realized that he would likely need to endorse DeWine in the fall. So be it.
I’m not going to question Trump’s strategy. Sometimes you just have to count the bird in hand and be thankful for what you have.
Will DeWine get fooled by more Democrat communist tricks? More than likely, yes. But Mike DeWine is a survivor. Schooled by experience, he is less likely to be suckered again. I can live with that.
Between now and November, we do need to beware of false flags on “gun violence”, which have been used reliably to manipulate DeWine. The “gun violence” angle appears to be Nan Whaley’s strategy against DeWine, presumably pinning him against his vote on Constitutional carry. The Ohio media will carry all the water they can for Democrats. Thankfully, Ohio gun owners are responsible, and we here at The Q Tree will be able to react quickly to counter false flag propaganda from DODGE, FIB, and now DHS.
Also, it looks like the Dems are pushing / forcing the “abortion rights” issue for November. It’s not a coincidence, IMO, that they waited for the Ohio primary to publicly disclose their Roe v. Wade SCOTUS leak. The “threat” to abortion will also be used to try to elevate Whaley. The “woman + abortion” card will be played hard.
Good luck, you horrible, cheating Democrats. MAGA will back DeWine to keep you communists where you belong. OUT OF POWER.
After DeWine, Ohio has lots of possibilities. Renacci is now very viable. LaRose would make a fine Governor, IMO. Jane Timken has a future. And Josh Mandel? Bernie Moreno? Lots of possibilities in a Trump administration.
The future is wide open. Our cornucopia is overflowing with MAGA talent.
Be thankful for what you have. It’s one of the first lessons of Judaism and Christianity.
There could really be another FLORIDA in the GOP column.
Note that I did NOT say “another DeSantis”. Jim Renacci has suggested that his administration would be a lot LIKE the DeSantis administration in Florida but he’s actually rather loath to compare himself directly to Ron DeSantis, or to any other Republican governor.
But when he does compare, he makes no bones about it.
No lockdowns, no gun control, and no CRT – Ohio needs a governor like Ron DeSantis. pic.twitter.com/CVA4WdYoTS
Renacci claims to have STUDIED DeSantis, just like he used to study his business competitors, in order to learn how they succeeded. Renacci says that DeSantis has a SYSTEM (which I will not repeat for enemy ears) that pipelines popular legislation to his desk very rapidly. Renacci is fully prepared to begin doing the same thing for Ohio in 2023, because he believes that conditions to create a similar system will be ideal after the 2022 election.
Renacci actually has a PLAN for Ohio – what he can accomplish in 4-8 years, and what he cannot. For example, Renacci figures that he cannot remove the state income tax during his tenure, but that he can prepare the state for a complete change in the tax system to happen AFTER his administration.
And all the stuff that we DO want right away, to push back against BRANDON and his insane, treacherous, WEF-and-China puppet administration? Renacci would begin signing bills as soon as he could get them across his desk.
Fox News, of course, as controlled FAKE NEWS opposition, is trying to downplay the possibility of Renacci winning.
Note that Fox is pegging Joe Blystone (the underdog, outsider, “Farmer Joe” candidate) with the same very respectable 20% segment as the Harris poll, but is dropping the much more realistic Renacci candidacy BELOW that level – which makes no sense. IMO there was a 20% transfer from Renacci to DeWine here, but I’m not sure how that artifact was pulled off.
So exactly how “DeSantis” would a Renacci administration actually be?
IMO, it would be as Republican as the House of the Ohio Legislature, which just gave DeWine a constitutional carry bill that he could not afford to “not sign”. That bill becomes law this summer.
That means Renacci would have legislative backing for moves like this.
It means getting RID of the critical race theory that DeWine’s appointees supported and defended to the very last liberal (yes, I was SHOCKED by that).
Whether it's called "Critical Race Theory" or "Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion," I will kick leftist propaganda out of our public schools.
Renacci has studied Mike DeWine, too. Renacci says that DeWine runs like a Republican for the primary, moves left for the general, and then TRIES to govern like a Democrat.
And Renacci’s not wrong about that.
Mike DeWine could have protected women's sports in Ohio last summer – he chose NOT to. https://t.co/0SeNTAiHZa
Mike DeWine’s a nice guy, but in my opinion he’s not committed to freedom. He signed the constitutional carry bill because he HAD to do it to win the primary – not because it was the right thing to do. DeWine called constitutional carry a “tough decision”. Not tough at all, says Renacci.
In my opinion, the only thing really standing in the way of Renacci is the media and lovable Joe Blystone, who the media plays up while ignoring Renacci. The media does this in order to keep Joe in the limelight and in viable “underdog” status, sapping votes from the more realistic and left-threatening competitor – Jim Renacci. You can tell – 20% of the vote is rather surprising for a third-party candidate. THAT is the power of the media, churning for Joe Blystone with “bad press”.
Will the media plan succeed? Will they “keep us divided” so that a RINO can slip through, yet again, to force all of Ohio to suffer a minority ideology that nobody wants?
Or will Renacci bring that Sweet Florida magic to Sweet Ohio?
You can bet a bushel of buckeyes, I will do my best to help freedom happen!
But this is not happening in isolation of “other items” that are pushing the political animals in Columbus to jump on the stool at the crack of the whip.
So this will be led by Kristen Clarke, who accused the Chicago police department of unfairly targeting Jussie Smollett after they sought access to his cell phone. https://t.co/JKvisPfRPi
COLUMBUS, Ohio (WSYX) — On the same day the mayor of Columbus reinstituted a mask mandate, Ohio’s governor reiterated his hands are tied when it comes to health orders. But Mike DeWine said he will continue to speak out on the issue of COVID and how to get Ohio’s numbers down.
DeWine said he spoke with Ohio public school superintendents and Catholic diocese schools yesterday, warning them that mandatory masking is the best way to control the spread of COVID in schools. A number of Central Ohio districts are battling high quarantine numbers due to the coronavirus.
“I’ll continue to say to all school superintendents in the state of Ohio if you want your school to stay open, if you want kids not to be quarantined, the best way to do that is to put a mask mandate on, at least for the immediate future,” DeWine said.Volume 90% DeWine can’t mandate masks, health orders; will keep speaking out about COVID precautions
DeWine however cannot make a mandate statewide, at least not without having it overturned by state lawmakers. That’s after they passed a law earlier this year limiting his abilities to issue health orders.
Would the governor have revived a mask mandate had lawmakers not taken that action?
“I deal with the world as I find it and the way the world is, and I don’t spend a lot of time speculating what would have happened if something else happened,” he said.
Yeah.
Trust me – this maskie purple Xi-tie would have Ohio in a state-wide mask mandate at the first opportunity he could.
AND THIS, MOST OF ALL.
If Joe Biden attempts to bring Australia-type lockdowns and mandates to America, Mike DeWine WILL NOT STAND UP TO THEM. In fact, he will SUPPORT THEM.
Anybody thinking Jim Renacci might be a good idea?

Amid a COVID-19 surge in Ohio’s most populous county, health officials wanted to once again require the use of face masks indoors to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Unlike July 2020, however, this time they hit a wall. State legislation that took effect earlier this summer forbids health departments from issuing blanket health mandates among people not diagnosed with any disease.
So despite a 56% increase in the average daily case rate in the county, which officials attribute to the hyper-transmissible delta variant flooding the state with new cases, the health department says they can do little more than issue a “mask advisory” that’s not backed by any force of law.
“This is an advisory. It’s not an order and it’s not a mandate,” said Columbus Public Health Commissioner Dr. Mysheika Roberts at a news conference. “The reason why it’s not an order or a mandate is because of state Senate Bill 22, which prohibits us from doing any order that would be a blanket order to the whole population.”
This marks one of the first tangible effects of the legislation, which critics called a naked attack on public health, to play out during an ongoing and now again worsening pandemic.
However, this isn’t the only instance of emerging schisms between public health guidance and policy.
Columbus Public Health issued guidance last week recommending schools, some of whom host children 11 and younger who are ineligible for vaccination, to require all students to wear face masks. However, school districts and universities have split on the issue, and health officials said they hope those districts that went mask-optional will reconsider.
So are the Bidenazis trying to work around that using a Mayoral EO? SEE BELOW.
If you read the rest of the article, you will learn this critical information. DeWine did a SNEAKY temporary protection from vaccine mandates – NOT the real thing.
Local health officials have had their hands tied when it comes to issuing mask mandates after the statewide mandate ended in June and a new law took effect prohibiting them from issuing such sweeping health orders.
The mandate is not subject to the law, Ginther’s office said, because the law only restricted public health agencies from issuing such orders, not city governments. The Ohio Constitution’s “home rule” powers granted to cities and villages include the authority to make regulations for public health and safety.
SO – here we are.
The DEMON DEMS will not back down.
But we are making progress.
Time for the Legislature to pound these bastards down AGAIN.
How the Race to Replace Steve Stivers in Ohio’s 15th Congressional District is Turning into a Showdown of Soft Party MAGA vs. Original MAGA vs. Upstart Hard MAGA
There is a DATE you need to keep in mind.
AUGUST 3, 2021
It is a date of multiple special PRIMARY elections in Ohio.
No matter who wins, we will be CELEBRATING and GETTING BEHIND THE WINNERS.
There is an AMAZING ad from businessman upstart Tom Hwang (he pronounces it “Wong”) that really shows the problem Ohio has right now – TOO MUCH MAGA.
I wish I could show you Hwang’s OAN ad, which is quite brilliant for a small-time or homemade operation – it’s very clear why this guy is a business success. Here is an alternative.
There are FAR too many good candidates. Not only is there competition to replace Senator Rob Portman…..
File the problem of “too much MAGA” under “GOOD TROUBLE”. Yes, I was PLEASED when former Ohio Congressman Jim Renacci came out of some seemingly short retirement, and started talking about getting out from under the economic errors of the current “masked out” administration – talking about “making Ohio great again” – talking about “Ohio …
There is now a special election to replace the remainder of 15th District Congressman Steve Stivers’ term in office.
in which Wolf Moon introduces several new and not-so-new characters who he may or may not actually know, as political gossiptainment We begin with a reminder of my dear sister Fox Moon, who managed to get herself into a previous weird post which dealt with the an absolutely beautiful and eminently believable TROLL of the …
There was some very strange stuff that went on there – like spooked animals before an earthquake. Wolf Moon and his furry family were some of those critters.
And yes, there has been WEIRD STUFF in District 15 as well…..
Ah, yes. It’s the TIMELINES that always get them. AS YOU WILL SEE. In my opinion, somebody like known provocateur ROBERT CREAMER has to be behind the Columbus “nuclear reactor escalation” hoax, and hopefully, when we have a new head of the Department of Energy fully operational – and some new leadership at the top …
One has to admit – Ohio politics is INTERESTING if nothing else.
The BIG DEAL with the 15th District is visible in the ENDORSEMENTS – some of which you can see here:
The really big takeaway is that the “main” candidates have very different KEY endorsements:
Mike Carey – Trump, Stefanik, Lewandowski
Stephanie Kunze – Franklin County GOP, Maggie’s List
Jeff LaRe – Steve Stivers, numerous state politicians
Bob Peterson – Ohio Right to Life, numerous state pols and 2 former representatives
So who are these people?
Mike Carey is a businessman and former lobbyist endorsed by Trump. Carey has a great record, but the “lobbyist” tag has been thrown by fellow businessman Tom Hwang, and it seems to be sticking. The Trump endorsement is strong, but IMO Carey needs more OOMPH in his messaging. Stick around for the video at the end, where he is interviewed, as is Hwang.
Stephanie Kunze is a skilled Columbus politician with an “aw shucks” suburban mom image, but she has been through the hell of Ohio politics and managed to come out smelling like a rose. She survived years of dirty blows by Democrats, scandal among her fellow Republicans, and – yes – a quantum nuclear reactor hoax in her back yard.
Not everybody gets one of those!
She comes off like a bit of a RINO, because the Dems are constantly trying to change her mind with PAC mailers to her constituents, which makes her look soft. Her messaging is “bipartisan”, too. Is she RINO? Not in my opinion, but by the same token, she seems fairly neutral in many ways. She’s actually a good fit for the Stivers seat, in some ways. On the other hand, do we want that? It’s up to the voters of that district, and possibly Chinese election hackers, if we’re not careful.
Jeff LaRe is the “chosen one”, with that Stivers endorsement. He’s worked as a deputy sheriff, and more significantly as a state representative, where he actually saved thousands of Ohio businesses from lockdown insanity. He may be the machine candidate, but he’s a good one. And obviously, he’s MAGA.
https://youtu.be/Ite3CJNTa0M
Bob Peterson is a long-time Ohio pol but also a life-long farmer (8 generations!). You can read his bio here – he’s a diehard conservative. All those endorsements, including Ohio Right to Life, are ZERO surprise.
These last two are, in my opinion, for lack of a better description, “more Steve Stivers”. That’s why they have all those endorsements from other politicians. No MTGs or Lauren Boeberts here.
However, that may be a very good thing if you want to win District 15.
District 15 is a bit of a suburban “golf” district. It’s like something out of Caddyshack. District 12 is a bit more redneck, IMHO.
Now let’s look at the polling:
In June, Mike Carey was leading strongly at 20%, but Kunze, LaRe and Peterson together exceed his take – and then there is Ron Hood with 7%.
Wait – who is Ron Hood, closing in on Jeff LaRe, and bettering Stephanie Kunze?
He’s a Constitutional conservative, backing Constitutional carry, bitterly opposed to both red flag laws and critical race theory, and very likely the STRONGEST candidate on Second Amendment issues.
AND – get this – Hood is endorsed by the FAUCI-BUSTER himself, RAND PAUL.
Again, like Hwang, I would categorize this guy as upstart MAGA, but he has experience at the state party level.
I would bet money that the REAL numbers now are nothing like this. Tom Hwang has been advertising like crazy, in all the right places, and his message is STRONG. His real numbers have to be BIG now.
Hwang is the child of people who fled communism. I totally get that. Hwang potentially has an exceptionally strong message on the things he has not said yet. Or he could stumble due to inexperience. And YES – he will likely draw CCP voting hacks. No doubt about it.
And if Ron Hood wins, look for Constitutional carry to cross the finish line in Ohio. A massive 2A win sends a real message to both Washington AND Columbus.
This is a good fight, and I want to see more from all these candidates. But I sure would like to see some of the candidates step up and show their MAGA like Hwang has.
One thing is very clear to me. If ANY of these candidates win, I think we are in good hands. But the EXACT MESSAGE to Nancy Pelosi will depend on the candidate.
No matter what, it’s imperative that Ohio voters in the 15th district GET OUT AND VOTE on August 3.
On August 3, keep your eye on what happens in this race. It will be significant for the primaries in November, including the race for Portman’s seat, and whether Renacci can take on incumbent governor Mike DeWine.
There’s still a lot of time on those races, in which all Ohioans will be able to vote.
File the problem of “too much MAGA” under “GOOD TROUBLE”.
Yes, I was PLEASED when former Ohio Congressman Jim Renacci came out of some seemingly short retirement, and started talking about getting out from under the economic errors of the current “masked out” administration – talking about “making Ohio great again” – talking about “Ohio First”.
Was he going to run for Portman’s seat? Or maybe even DeWine’s?
Yes, I was HAPPY when I learned that former Ohio State Treasurer and Marines veteran Josh Mandel was going to run for Rob Portman’s Senate seat in Ohio.
But I was simply overjoyed when former Ohio GOP Chair, “rugby mom”, and MAGA Super-Woman Jane Timken decided to MAKE SURE that Portman’s seat will GO MAGA in 2022!
At this point, there is NO WAY – barring a CHEAT ELECTION – that Portman’s seat goes to a RINO or a Dem. NO WAY.
Two of the absolutely BEST and MOST MAGA candidates in Ohio are contending for Portman’s seat. EITHER ONE is an absolute dream candidate for a MAGA-savvy Trump supporter.
Look at it like Sun Tzu. If one falls, the other goes in. WE’VE GOT IT COVERED.
However, before I get into these two amazing candidates, and why you need to back EITHER ONE OR BOTH, let me give you a LINK to a great summary of possible contenders for that seat:
I will provide you with snippets from this article, to show you who THEY thought were in the running, and one who was NOT…..
First, my THOUGHTS on that article.
Jim Jordan? Please! We love him RIGHT WHERE HE IS. Let’s concentrate on keeping him there!
John Kasich? Thank you, NO THANK YOU. John Kasich may well be in this race – but only IN SPIRIT. And you’re going “HUH? HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND, WOLF?” No, I have not. Just wait. All will be explained.
Old Congresspeople? OLD NEWS. Very likely a lot of CHINA TAINT and BLACKMAIL BAIT in that bunch. SIDE-EYE REQUIRED.
Let’s try that again.
State Officeholders? STATE MACHINE. Yes, there are some very good ones in the bunch, for state offices, but we cannot afford a weak DeWine type, or frankly another Portman, in Portman’s place. Let them contend for DeWine’s replacement, or for higher state offices, or as Congressfolks.
An author? Hey – he can post HERE. Better yet, let him get into FOOD FIGHTS on Twitter with Cultural Marxist Stephen King. But please NO, we need HARD MAGA, not SOFT ARTSIES.
Jim Renacci? I love the guy, but after his MACHINE LOSS (take that as you will) to super-nebbish Sherrod Brown, the INVISIBLE MARXIST, I don’t have FAITH that Renacci won’t choke, or “be choked”. I can see Renacci as GOVERNOR – and a good one – who would pull a TRUMP on Ohio.
Can we save him or something? Thanks!
And NOW we’re down to picking between Peter and Paul. Romulus and Remus. Super-MAGA vs. Ultra-MAGA. Clash of the MAGA TITANS. All that matters is that BOTH of these two great individuals get into office somehow. And ONE of them is going to be filling Portman’s seat.
So here we go. WHY I LOVE BOTH OF THESE CANDIDATES.
Josh Mandel
If you can’t trust the Marines, who CAN you trust?
Yeah, we may joke about “jarheads”, but I have never gone wrong trusting the Marines, and I’m not going to second-guess about them now.
“In Washington, I will pulverize the Uniparty – that cabal of Democrats and Republicans who sound the same and stand for nothing,” he vowed. “My candidacy is about standing up for working people, economic freedom and individual liberty. We must stop the far left’s assault on American values.”
Senate Candidate and Marine Veteran Josh Mandel
OMG – and he ALWAYS sounds like this! MARINES!!!
Josh dropped out of the Senate race against Sherrod Brown to deal with family issues, which may have ended in divorce, but to me that is just bona fides about a man who follows THE LORD and puts his responsibilities to HIS COMMANDMENTS over personal gain and power.
All marriages cannot be saved, but those who at least TRY, demonstrate valor with every attempt. There is no greater demonstration of proper political priorities than to put FAMILY before POLITICS.
We know we are in a SPIRITUAL BATTLE, and thus I am looking for people who SERVE GOD to have the strength to WIN.
However, THAT is not demonstration of MAGA. Instead, it has been Josh’s fearless and relentless support for Trump, NEVER WAVERING, which tells me that Josh, like ME, will never abandon Trump!
JI: When you say you’re running to help define the party’s future, are you envisioning that Trump will run again in 2024?
Mandel: I hope he does. I hope he runs for reelection in 2024 — pardon me, I hope he runs for president in 2024. And once again, I’ll be a full-throated supporter behind his candidacy. In Ohio in 2016, I was the first statewide official to support Trump. Late in the fall of 2016, after the AccessHollywood tapes came out and all these Republicans were jumping ship, I stuck with him. And in the 2020 reelection, I was part of a small group called the Trump 500, which is a small group of people around the country who raised over $500,000 for his reelection. I’ve been a strong Trump supporter. I think what he’s done for America, and what he’s done for Israel, is unrivaled, and I’m proud to call him my president.
Keep reading that article to see how Mandel has an AMAZING way of handling the press. The lefties at Jewish Insider try going after him with a subtle hidden “You don’t believe the conspiracy theory that Trump really won, do you?”, and Mandel responds with a lesson in how the Democrats stole the election instead of giving them a sound byte. Then they go after him with “antisemites said bad things about Amy Acton” (Mike DeWine’s tragic Democrat lock-down czarina) and Mandel follows up his immediate “I heard nothing about that” (me, neither) with a full press statement of (paraphrasing again) “SHE WAS HORRIBLE AND RUINED OHIO“.
LOL! OMG – and Amy Acton is being mentioned as a possible Democrat opponent. IMO her candidacy is already DOA.
Josh Mandel is a FIGHTER. He is very much like Trump – VERY MUCH. He takes no prisoners on Iran policy and Biden’s insanity on policy thereof.
The ONLY thing I would fault him with is being a bit too diplomatic toward some of his future Senate comrades – Cruz, Lee, and Rubio – but think about it. Think about TRUMP running in 2016.
Yeah. SOMEBODY was paying attention – about how to WIN and LEAD.
Jane Timken
The reason you EVER said “President Trump” is because of this woman.
Let me state that again, slightly differently.
You would have NEVER said “President Trump”, were it not for Jane Timken.
In my opinion, Jane Timken was single-handedly responsible for making Ohio a core part of the MAGA movement.
Yeah, yeah, yeah – everybody knows that Trump always says it was Ohio Trump campaign director Bob Paduchik, and IT WAS BOB PADUCHIK – but it was also JANE TIMKEN. And yes, they are both part of the machine politics that is Ohio politics, but they are the FAST-LEARNING, HIGHLY EVOLVING, MAGA side of the Ohio political machine.
And if you want a demonstration of that, consider how Jane was very recently re-elected to Ohio GOP Chair, then two weeks later she QUITS, so that Bob Paduchik runs for her seat unopposed, while Jane runs for Portman’s seat.
See how that works? Let’s have that smile one more time, Jane!
And even though Mike DeWine is supposedly in on this machine kabuki, the whole point is that REPUBLICANS WILL HOLD THE SEAT. And THAT is the number one rule. If you can make it happen with MAGA, all the better, because everybody knows MAGA is the future, but Republicans WILL retain the seat, or it will not happen.
NOW can you see why it’s important that there be two amazing MAGA candidates for Portman’s seat? There will be NO chances taken that the seat goes to the Demmunists. NO CHANCES.
But now that I’ve gotten that POLITICAL stuff out of the way, let’s talk about Jane Timken, and the MAGA reasons why she would be such a GREAT senator for Ohio.
Very few people are “Trump-level” – meaning they get strategy – tactics – intuitive understanding of where things are going. Jane Timken is one of those few people. Jane managed to get the MESS that was Ohio politics, when it was DISRUPTED by MAGA, into a coherent force that was STRONGER because of that disruption.
Yeah, who does THAT sound like?
Jane has PROVEN herself a WINNER. She DOES. NOT. CHOKE.
She even CALLS HERSELF – accurately – a disruptor – a “conservative disruptor”. But she is not a disruptor like some of the people who can only disrupt by attacking and breaking – she disrupts by LEADING and bringing together. I am only a rank amateur in such endeavors, trying to emulate Trump as the manager of a small blog. Jane Timken is a PRO. She turned Ohio from old-school to MAGA in a single election, and kept the state so MAGA for 4 years, that the Demmunists and ChiComs didn’t even THINK of trying to pull a “Georgia” in Ohio.
This is an important issue for me, and particularly in looking at OHIO CANDIDATES, because it is my contention that Trump’s victory in Ohio in 2020 was SHAVED BY SEVERAL POINTS, to hide Trump’s actual victory in the other swing states. A massive margin increase in Ohio would have given away the game.
There is no way that Trump could have GONE UP in Ohio and lost the other swing states, so it was REQUIRED that Ohio’s vote be tampered back to “no increase” in Trump’s margin versus 2016.
This remains a HUGE DANGER to the citizens of Ohio, whose votes can easily be overridden by such cheating.
Thus, Ohio needs massive focus on election fraud that DID NOT SHOW UP, in order to address the baseline cyber fraud which IMO stole YUGELY from Trump in 2020. Only by this issue being fronted by NATIONAL CANDIDATES will this get the exposure needed.
Now – I know this lady would be a JUNIOR SENATOR, but in the long run, she has the abilities of a guy like Mitch McConnell to LEAD THE SENATE. In our victory against SOCIALISM, we need people like her at the highest levels.
Yeah, are you thinking as LONG-TERM as me? YEAH. Think about it. WE NEED OPTIONS.
Another reason I like Jane is that she understood Trump’s personal stance and political strategy on GROWING MAGA with traditionally Democrat groups. Thus – VERY EARLY ON – she understood the value and virtue of my fellow “extremist” and “insurrectionist” Brandon Straka, and his “#WalkAway” movement, which helped spread the MAGA message to traditional Democrat voters and voter blocs.
This kind of savvy does not walk into the store every day, people – much less as a lady of many virtues, including TOUGHNESS, KINDNESS, and HONESTY.
John Kasich
So – let me tell you right now – whichever one of these two, Josh Mandel or Jane Timken – ends up representing Ohio, I will back them 100% and all the way to the Senate!
But let’s get back to the THIRD “candidate” – John Kasich.
We need the SPIRIT of John Kasich in this primary.
I know that sounds shocking to my fellow MAGATS, but hear me out.
One of the huge risks of this primary election – this “battle of the MAGA stars” – is for the Soviet Democrat FAKE NEWS to play “LET’S YOU AND HER FIGHT” with Josh Mandel, and “LET’S YOU AND HIM FIGHT” with Jane Timken.
They are ALREADY STARTING. Here is Politico, trying to PICK THE FIGHT.
Mandel and Timken both launching on pro-Trump platform sets the stage for an intra-party race to the right, an effort to secure both the president’s potential support and that of his voters in the state.
Mandel’s campaign manager, Scott Guthrie, in a statement said the former treasurer was “the only unabashedly pro-Trump candidate in this race.” Mandel also tried to bludgeon Timken by tweeting a photo of her with Kasich, whom she endorsed in the 2016 primary. Kasich responded by tweeting a photo of himself with Mandel.
Timken in the interview said it was no secret she previously supported Kasich, the state’s sitting governor at the time, but that he has “disappointed me and many Republicans. And, quite frankly, I don’t think he’s a Republican anymore.”
She also said she would have joined Republican senators who objected to the certification of the Electoral College last month, saying there had been fraud and election integrity issues. Mandel last week told POLITICO he would have objected to certification. Election officials and judges in multiple battleground states, including some Republicans and Trump appointees, found no evidence of significant fraud or irregularities in the November election.
Notice how the candidates are both using John Kasich as the “bad guy” to define themselves as MAGA?
That has worked in the past, and may have even been necessary at some point, but I think it’s a bit long in the tooth. VICTORY NEED NOT BE RUTHLESS.
In my opinion, there comes a point where, rather than pounding our old “enemies” – OK – let’s be more honest – old “frenemies” – OK – let’s be even MORE honest – OLD FRIENDS – like dead horses, or wearing their valor falsely as a “skin suit”, we need to HONOR EARNESTLY what they did right. I do NOT mean that we should virtue signal to all the many things that they did wrong, but rather to respect what RIGHTNESS they may have had.
Would this primary between MAGA VICTORS not be better if we actually stole a few tricks from the Kasich playbook, so we could BEAT THE TAR out of the Bolsheviks in the general election?
Yes, the Ohio GOP is now MAGA, and MAGA now needs to be MAGAnimous in victory.
No need to bash Kasich.
No need to bash each other – for ANY reason.
No need to do the Democrats’ work for them.
Ohio will have ONE MAGA Senator in November 2022.
There is no reason it can’t have TWO of them in 2026.
And a MAGA governor winning in BOTH YEARS.
There are so many MAGA possibilities, it would be a shame to fritter away ANY of them.
Thus, I would counsel the imperative of the two major MAGA candidates operating by the Good Old Ohio Machine Maxim of DO NO DAMAGE. Even to the defeated Kasich wing.
Don’t kick the man that’s down. It’s over. It’s not honorable.
The Kasich idea of bipartisanship and “honorable opposition” actually works with “honorable opposition” – like two MAGA candidates contending for one spot.
It doesn’t work with Bolsheviks, or CCP, or CCP minions. It doesn’t work with conniving globalists and communists, who trick gentle souls into self-defeating strategies – who make them into human IEDs to stop – say – Trump. It doesn’t work when dealing with a side that relies on FAKE NEWS and political DIRTY TRICKS using the powers of government.
It DOES work WITHIN an authentically American system of electoral and political opposition between honorable parties. It does work when we get back to AMERICAN principles – which are sadly lacking on a global scale.
SO – let’s have a GREAT primary where we realize that BOTH MAGA candidates are running for TWO very powerful positions of national importance.
ONE of those offices will be filled in 2022.
BOTH candidates need to emerge VICTORS from the primary.
This [Q-3]TH of AUGUST FRIDAY open thread is 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 (KMAG being a bit of both MAGA and KAG!).

Little Boy, Fat Man & The Sundance Kid
OK – we have a problem. Sundance’s reveal, undoubtedly a NUKE of Eeyore proportions, is coming soon.
Many of us want to talk about “Sundance stuff”, which tends toward DOWNSIDE THINKING.
I will agree that SD does not do “mea culpa” well, or even “at all”!!!
I believe SD’s point about Mueller team control is not going to convince those who don’t see “control from below” as control. SD’s mind lives inside DOJ structure, and not everybody can or even wants to follow him there, but in a DOJ-centric problem, I gladly adopt his framework of seeing things, because it works like crazy for me, too.
Sundance’s warm-up revelation about Tash Gauhar is solving all sorts of problems for me, and is also enough of a reveal of the SERIOUSNESS of the long-term problems at DOJ, that I am on board with SD’s reveal JUST ON THAT ALONE. His big reveal (not the Durham deputy – the OTHER reveal) HAS TO BE in the space I’m computing, and that space is dangerous as hell to America, and must be revealed before the election, whether Barr is going after it or not. I’m not fully sure what it is, but just the SET OF POSSIBLES is enough that any sunlight becomes good sunlight, Barr or no Barr. IMO.
TheseTruths
I do see control from below as control. I would very much like to know more of your thoughts about your last paragraph. An article about that would be great (if I may be so bold!)!
"Durham" is the shiny thing to keep everyone distracted and looking in the wrong place. The real investigation has nothing Durham attached to it. You can debate the Barr strategy later on. I care not. https://t.co/vxmc9lUKqF
SD is also saying that he will reveal to selected journalists on FRIDAY, and will reveal to US on Saturday.
NOW – here is my problem.
Not everybody here wants to see Sundance stuff, which can be – WELL – for many people, especially Q people, demoralizing. I expect his reveal to be BEYOND controversial – I believe it will OFFEND and OUTRAGE, drawing mockery and derision, even if people claim it’s a nothingburger. It will stir the pot – as intended.
So I’m going to make three proposals about where I will discuss “Sundance stuff”.
keep it in the daily open – DEAL WITH IT – FIGHT OVER IT
separate posts, NOT in the daily open – KEEP IT AWAY
on The U Tree
I can live with any of these, but I currently believe “other posts here” is the best for all concerned. Let me know what you all think. It will happen before morning.
Thanks!
The LancetGateEffect
Repeating from last week, I continue to harp on the “LancetGate Effect”.
This is the article that brought it to my attention:
I alerted administration HCQ advocate Peter Navarro to this (having no idea if he saw my tweet – only TWITTER and the DNC and the CCP know), because I think there is a “knowledge crisis” here. Waiting too long for published data (by the same publications which were victimized by LancetGate, no less!) showing we’re killing people by letting the media badmouth a “best current early treatment”, is a RISK to many – science, the people, AND this administration – maybe even to its enemies, who will ultimately pay for an increasingly costly crime.
Peter – another "real time effect" exists for the FDA 6/15 decision. It's also a "LancetGate" effect, ironically started AFTER Swiss reinstatement of #HCQ on 6/11. Different delay – the shorter time from infection to viral test. Amazing proof. READ: https://t.co/lDV7XMyGzbpic.twitter.com/owqX6AMPUD
For those who are put off by the reciprocal graph, here is the data viewed more traditionally. Same point – a causally timed inflection point in cases when shadow is thrown on #HCQ by the out-of-date 6/15 (retracted) #LancetGate diss during rescinding of the EUA by FDA. pic.twitter.com/0FXd20tiMT
I really think we need to thoroughly explore this possible ‘TRAP’ (Damned if he does, damned if he doesn’t) so we understand it.
Gingersmom2009 earlier was saying that President Trump is ‘Weak’ because he did not use an E.O. to overrule the ANTI-HCQ SABOTEURS in the CDC, FDA….
… I and don’t want to be that floating turd — but someone was pretty strident here in a reply to me yesterday AM about the Stanton Act and how POTUS can’t go against Fauci/Birx or he’ll be removed from office. The EUA is exactly what needs to happen….
That was me.
DP, Ginger, and others.
Causualties in nursing homes was done PRECISELY to get the reaction you have. These people have spent over 100 years perfecting the methods of ‘herding you’ into the direction they want you to go
AND THEY ARE PURE EVIL….. [start of a long comment]
[MUCH REMOVED]
I can understand why DP, Ginger, and others are furious and want POTUS to DO SOMETHING! I am livid too. I am so angry that if a Karen demonrat gets in my face about masks I would probably punch them…
HOWEVER, I can step back and I THINK I SEE A TRAP.
So what say you?
Is POTUS sidestepping a trap? Or is he ‘weak’ in not using an E.O. to address the HCQ issue?
THIS is a beautiful demonstration of how politics and science are interacting BADLY, and why we need to keep both politics and corporate money OUT of influencing science judgments.
We will deal with part of this below, in something I call “therapeutic agnosticism”.
For now, I think it’s very legitimate to ask about Trump’s relationship with both the health bureaucracy – much of which OPPOSES HIM and SUPPORTED HILLARY CLINTON – and with the corporate and NGO behemoths – much of that world controlled by Bill Gates – and most of which is also politically opposed to Trump.
I think that the other side will weaponize ANYTHING, and yes – I think they may well have been trying to trap Trump on HCQ.
In my opinion President Trump has done enough. He has been honest about his belief in HCQ, but he is letting the medical pros make decisions, and they will answer for any mistakes.
If FDA scientists don’t reverse course on HCQ due to the LancetGateEffect, and the evidence keeps rolling in, then I believe Azar and Hahn will have all they need to clean the place out very soon.
There are constructive paths forward – I’ve suggested one already, but there are others. Any EUA or other action which broad-brushes early use of more antivirals and explicitly includes HCQ is fairly absolving without spotlighting, and serves the interests of both “big pharma” and “people’s pharma”.
Note that remdesivir has been approved for more widespread use. If that use can be moved forward in time, such as allowing an early bolus injection “somewhat off label” or EUAed under doctor’s supervision, early in HCQ COVID treatment, and it gives improved results (I would almost bet on it), then patients, doctors, and researchers all benefit. Likewise, EIDD-2801 and RLF-100 need to be tried earlier, IMO.
Yes, to some extent this is expensive “boutique medicine”, adding big costs for small percentages of better outcomes, but honestly, THAT is exactly why people have private insurance and THEIR OWN preferred providers and drugs. Research is expensive, well-heeled customers who will spare no expense WANT that extra edge, so it’s a match made in capitalism.
If the MONEY can get these new fresh drugs WHEN THEY NEED THEM, and those who want cheap and reliable HCQ can get THAT when they need it, then hopefully we can all benefit – most of all insuring that patients are not dying of this minor but annoying flu which – I have to say on now-sketchy lungs – is not exactly as minor as the usual coughs and colds, even if it is, for most, more minor than regular flu.
So let’s talk about therapeutics in general, but FIRST just one of them.
Ivermectin & COVID-19
Thanks to bakocarl for turning me on to this article, which has proven very enlightening as I’ve dealt with the PROCESS of understanding it at a general level.
I had promised that I would do an explainer on this, and to some extent I already did, in comments, but I want to get some deeper thoughts out there. Also, this topic brings up the issue of “therapeutic agnosticism”. This is about not just STATING conflicts of interest in backing or not backing particular therapeutics, but DEALING with those conflicts – ADDRESSING THEM – very openly. Thus, I explain this idea more fully below.
If you search through the whole article, you will NOT find zinc mentioned AT ALL, and any time zinc is not controlled, an HCQ or HCQ+AZT study is operating with a loose wheel, in my opinion.
This becomes even more important because of the way the CONTROL for the ivermecting (IVM) add-on was done.
The control study for IVM+HCQ+AZT was done by RETROSPECTIVE ANALYSIS of earlier hospital treatment using HCQ+AZT alone. The authors understand fully the limitations of doing this, and I agree with them fully – it is better to do a potentially flawed study here than none at all. There is a strong ETHICAL argument for comparing PAST BEST to NEW BEST – and one doesn’t have to invoke Melania to know it’s right – DOING BEST is BEING BEST!
Using dice to send some patients to WORSE TREATMENT is not a braggable thing. Better to take some lumps on uncertainty, IMO.
What are the risks of comparing two hospital studies NOT done at the same time – where one of them is designated a “control”?
“Control” assumes that you’ve changed exactly what you know you changed – it means that you have a reliable reference, preferably MINIMIZING differences that have to be explained away.
Yes, it’s the same hospital, the same doctors, the same staff, but we all know that treatment for COVID has changed MASSIVELY over time. Here are important changes:
less vents
more steroids
better diet including vitamins and minerals to resolve deficiencies
more oxygen earlier
better testing, all kinds
As you can see, there are reasons for outcomes to be better now, completely independent of the study object, ivermectin. NEVERTHELESS, the authors DO see better results – significantly better – if they give patients a big dose of IVM at the beginning of HCQ-AZT treatment. They do as much correcting for differences as they can, in comparing individual outcomes, and I believe they tried to do a good job.
Skipping past how I got there, my reading of this is that IVM is very likely acting a LOT like AZT (azithromycin, Z-pak, AZM, whatever). It is providing a SHOTGUN for unicellular and multicellular organisms, weighted toward PARASITES. It has a different SPECTRUM from AZT, and will complement it. This will affect both pre-existing and new infections.
It is EXTREMELY LIKELY that this should work, even if IVM has NO ANTIVIRAL ACTIVITY.
It’s beautiful science – and also explains why the “pro-crisis” camp would oppose use of ivermectin.
The argument isn’t whether ivermectin is an antiviral, or any worse or better than anything else. The argument is whether is can be used to save lives, and how well it does that, versus something else – including simply NOT USING IT.
If these results hold, or are even partially confirmed, then I think ivermectin needs an EUA along with HCQ and several other new antivirals, for doctors to begin solving things EARLY with antivirals and “therapeutic adjuvants”, when they work best, as I mentioned LAST WEEK.
Now, let’s talk about therapeutic agnosticism.
On Staying Therapeutically Agnostic
Now – we have seen incredible bias against hydroxychloroquine – nicely summarized HERE:
Dr. Harvey Risch, MD/PhD from the department of epidemiology at Yale responds to the senseless attack and attempt to discredit him for his research on hydroxychloroquine.
If you get into that article, you will see where “the powers that be” try to KNEECAP hydroxychloroquine into “hospital use only” – which absolutely does not make sense, until you realize that one of the more unique problems of the new and just recently approved antiviral drug remdesivir (which Fauci labeled the “new standard” despite unimpressive performance in late-stage COVID), is that the drug needs to not only be administered by IV, but it also has to be observed closely for nasty side effects, and thus being up until recently stuck in a late stage, hospital patient track, which is NOT a good place for antiviral success.
SO – rather than getting remdesivir into earlier settings, what did they do? What the CHICOMS routinely do – KNEECAP THE COMPETITION in some way that nobody sees.
Honestly, if you’ve been in science and been halfway observant, you’ve seen how the corrupt ChiComs operate – MAFIA techniques – frequently SABOTAGING the other guy, although perhaps not until AFTER stealing the technology – so they seem to be quite comfy with the general lack of morality of the growing “medical mafia” in the US.
A match made in HELL.
Anyway – here is the deal.
We do NOT want to be like them THE OTHER WAY.
don’t cheer the failure of ANY drug – figure it out and fix it
every drug is different – help them ALL find their perfect niche to help us
never ever conduct a sabotage study like LancetGate
don’t reject studies “going the other way” – UNDERSTAND AND EXPLAIN THEM
call out sabotage, bias and error, no matter who is committing it
if you know why “the other guy’s drug” is FAILING, you are morally obligated to help fix it
if you know why “the other guy’s drug” is WORKING, you are morally obligated to explain and even recommend it
pharmacology is not a zero sum game, even though patients are a zero sum market – every new drug adds to the arsenal of salvation
In short, I wish for people who are fighting the suppression of HCQ to not become deniers, defamers, and “opponents” of other drugs and vaccines, because doctors need those too, for patients who want or need those specific drugs or treatments.
LIVE AND LET LIVE.
Even if the other team doesn’t play that way.
By this attitude, we will DEMONSTRATE the superiority of our approach, which I sometimes call POPULAR MEDICINE.
Masks OFF
The fly in the ointment that mocks the smooth, lying MASK SOCIALISTS is SWEDEN.
“With numbers diminishing very quickly in Sweden, we see no point in wearing a face mask in Sweden, not even on public transport.” -Swedish State Epidemiologist Anders Tegnell, 7/28/20
This wonderful meme comes from Aubergine. I also used it HERE:
Wake up! I can MEASURE my oxygen hurt by all 3 of my masks, using my pulse oximeter. It's mild, but it's persistent and long. 97 (sleepy) is not 98 (calm) is not 99 (alert), and 93 is where they take you to the hospital.
We need to start thinking about measuring things, because I am CERTAIN that masks are hurting us – nickeling and diming us to death.
I am having success understanding oxygen deprivation using my cheap oximeter, but I need perhaps a more expensive model to take finer cumulative readings and record them.
Gail Combs suggests that we can capture mask CO2 as well.
Let us think about this problem, because I am certain that CHINA is behind it.
I will add details later of why I believe normal mask wear leads to cognitive deficits for 30-60 minutes AFTER shopping with a mask.

The following is an excerpt from the brief being filed today in Maryland state court in Attkisson v. Rosenstein and others for the government computer intrusions.
Plaintiff Sharyl Attkisson, an award-winning journalist—along with her husband and child—have tried for years to pursue their significant and credible claims of illegal government surveillance, but the U.S. Government has stonewalled them at every turn. Yet, despite the Government’s repeated efforts to obfuscate and delay, the Attkissons detailed in their Complaint:
Expert forensic computer analysis of the Attkissons’ computers, revealing that an unauthorized entity or entities gained remote access to the Attkissons’ computers for a prolonged period, and that one of the pathways by which the intrusions occurred were IP addresses controlled by the U.S. Government.
Confirmation, via testimony, that the U.S. Government controlled the IP addresses identified in the Attkissions’ computers.
The degree to which senior figures in the Department of Justice were concerned about, and took steps to block, Sharyl Attkisson’s reporting, as well as her use of confidential governmental sources;
Many documented instances of abnormal, otherwise unexplained behavior of the Attkissons’ computer systems and devices.
But then it gets interesting…..
Plaintiffs’ investigator has interviewed Ryan White, a Government whistleblower (and named Defendant). During this interview, White made the following significant assertions:
White worked with defendants Sean Bridges (who was then a Secret Service agent) and the FBI’s Shawn Henry in Baltimore and reported directly to defendant Rod Rosenstein.
White and Agent Bridges were ordered to conduct various clandestine operations involving hacking computer systems, servers, emails, and phones.
White and Agent Bridges were directly involved in the illegal surveillance of the Attkissons’ computers and the exfiltration of data.
The rogue order to target the Attkissons came directly from Agent Henry and Rosenstein.
Later, Agent Bridges and another federal agent were convicted of corrupt acts for their involvement in the Government’s notorious Silk Road Task Force, also based in Baltimore, in which corruption by federal agents was uncovered, resulting in the convictions of Bridges and another federal agent.
As far as I can tell, the surveillance of journalists at that point (2009-2012) was coming from Obama and ERIC HOLDER. So if Rosey was working Holder’s game under Obama, this fits in perfectly with everything I know about DOJ intentions and actions during the first 2 years of the Trump White House, when Rosey and Holder’s lieutenant Tashina Gauhar were running the show.
Rosey sure looks like a black hat to me. But I’m listening. If Rosey was an informant, then WHO was he informing under Obama and Mueller, as Mueller was clearly allowing spying on Attkisson, and planting of incriminating documents on her laptop?
But let’s move on, since Rosey’s guilt or innocence may be reflected in any upcoming indictments…..
Trump’s tweet on the getaway is wonderful. Sundance clearly SAVED it, lest it disappear. Or DID IT ALREADY? I cannot find it.
ANYWHO – indictments are very likely coming SOON.
This is worth a listen (in thread). I take it as a tip that there will be some predictable turbulence when indictments hit, and security has already prepared for it. Seatbelts. https://t.co/pUx0Xui5K3pic.twitter.com/0B2ZAGrCBw
Scientifically, this is exactly where I was when Didier Raoult (or Raoult Didier – whatever his name is) published his first “pay dirt” data with demonstrable dose-related antiviral activity in ALL test subjects. His numbers can be off by a factor of 50%, and it’s still huge and can’t be explained away as anything but SOME kind of real effect.
Numbers like these are either massive fraud or pay dirt. And they could be real nuggets. With a solid, known antiviral explanation, it’s almost certainly REAL.
Now – let’s take a look at a country a bit off the commonly argued map. You don’t hear a lot about COVID-19 in Turkey. Here’s why.
The situation isn’t done in Turkey – they are teetering very close to lockdowns. Turkey is trying the same thing as Trump – avoiding lockdowns. A lot of information on how hard that has been, in this article.
Scott Adams found Turkey’s claimed near-100% effectiveness of contact tracing a bit unbelievable, and I have to agree – it’s not easy to either prove or disprove such a claim, but in a country like Turkey, it should be nearly impossible to contact everybody catching the disease.
Who believes Turkey has an extensive testing/tracing network that is making a difference? https://t.co/HMvMWsSekb
NEVERTHELESS, those people who DO get caught by contact tracing ARE very likely to live, if they are getting HCQ as early as possible. See how that works? The more the tracers catch, the more contacts they find, the more contacted contacts are WAITING FOR SYMPTOMS with their HCQ in hand, and the more likely the HCQ is going to work. Clearly, [HCQ + contact tracing] makes sense. BUT here is the deal. People have to TRUST the government behind it.
Not exactly easy in New York.
Moving on, HERE is the biggie. I call it the “LancetGate Effect”.
Yes, that would be THE Steven Hatfill, falsely accused by Mueller in the 2001 anthrax attacks.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR.
Peter Navarro – THE KILLER – tweeted the article.
Dr. Steven Hatfill's clutch hit. Best take down of anti-Trump Hydroxy Hysteria media this side of @ScottAdamsSays CNN might be killing tens of thousands. https://t.co/b4ThfIaQvG
And then I introduced HIM to something even more shocking.
There was a LancetGate Effect in The United States.
Peter – another "real time effect" exists for the FDA 6/15 decision. It's also a "LancetGate" effect, ironically started AFTER Swiss reinstatement of #HCQ on 6/11. Different delay – the shorter time from infection to viral test. Amazing proof. READ: https://t.co/lDV7XMyGzbpic.twitter.com/owqX6AMPUD
For those who are put off by the reciprocal graph, here is the data viewed more traditionally. Same point – a causally timed inflection point in cases when shadow is thrown on #HCQ by the out-of-date 6/15 (retracted) #LancetGate diss during rescinding of the EUA by FDA. pic.twitter.com/0FXd20tiMT
Now – I’m not going to show you this – you have to dig to find – but in the wake of my comments, Daughn came in for an assist, and we were then both engaged by HCQ opponents. One kept emphasizing that FDA head Hahn, who was in charge when the EUA was rescinded, is a Trump appointee – like this was going to bother me somehow.
NO. TRUTH IS TRUTH.
I thought this was clearly an attempt to generate “Alinsky fears” – specifically POLITICS BEFORE SCIENCE, because it might hurt Trump or Hahn, as a way of shutting me up.
NONSENSE!
Hahn, as I tried to explain, has his own mind. I LIKE THAT. It’s like the way things used to be. I believe that Trump hired him because Hahn is a strong believer in FAST TRACKING new drugs, like Trump is. A believer in TRUMP TIME. Hahn’s opinion on HCQ, wrong as it turns out to be, is secondary. This is WAR, people make mistakes, people die. Generals and Colonels live with this horrible responsibility, and WE SOLDIERS SUPPORT THEM.
BUCK UP, WORLD. We do our best, we trust in God, but we do NOT lie and cover up when we understand error. People have been all over the place on HCQ, but when the chips come in STRONGLY that it works, and even more so that banning it is a PROVABLE mistake, we have to consider CHANGING COURSE.
One way to do that would be to listen to Dr. Zelenko and have a NEW EUA (Emergency Use Authorization) for HCQ – this time without Rick Bright’s toxic “hospitals only” poison pill attached.
YES! We can RECOVER from the LancetGate blunder by doing what Zelenko suggests.
BUT WAIT – THERE’S MOAR.
HCQ Insights
One way to make Zelenko’s new EUA actually happen would be to INCLUDE NEW DRUGS – albeit handled DIFFERENTLY from HCQ, as part of the EUA.
I call this the “EUA EUA“.
“Early Use of Antivirals Emergency Use Authorization”
The way this would work is to grant flexibility to doctors WORKING WITH pharmaceutical companies and state governments to try new antivirals early in the disease process upon confirmed diagnosis. HCQ is well-tested, and as the “standard of this EUA”, it becomes the GOLD STANDARD of safety and efficacy for other newer drugs to beat, using whatever delivery tricks and codrugs make these other drugs work best. Those drugs need every advantage we can find for them, just like South Korea (zinc), Didier Rauout (azithromycin), and Zelenko (zinc + azithromycin, very early) found for HCQ.
One of my rationales here is that we can reduce or even remove toxicity from the equation by low-dosing a lot of these drugs, since EARLY use can mean less drug needed for the more toxic ones. In some ways, what I am doing here is learning from sabotage studies of HCQ, which used massive and toxic doses LATE. We are doing the opposite – trying to “help” alternatives to HCQ by giving THEM access to patients at the same time when HCQ works best. Some – maybe even most patients may still opt for HCQ, but others may welcome new drugs like EIDD-2801 and RLF-100, the latter of which may prove to be effective not just late, but early as well.
The point is, get EVERYBODY early, so we remove the incentive to let patients deteriorate, which is now “imposed” on drugs which need desperate patients for “right to try”. The EUA, in essence, would EXPAND right to try to early or even asymptomatic patients – not just patients at death’s door.
The EUA EUA *removes* any incentive to delay treatment, or to bash HCQ, but at the same time, it doesn’t blockade new drugs from access to patients at the time when THEY might be very effective, too, which our current system, weirdly, does.
WIN, WIN, WIN.
#LancetGate had a terrible price! #HCQ bans and discouragements KILL.
I think a new EUA that included both #HCQ *and* other drugs in the pipeline having antiviral actions, FOR EARLY USE (badly needed for antivirals) is the big life-saver, that would get buy-in from Big Pharma. pic.twitter.com/Dt3Fb5NXUZ
This will not only help absolve @US_FDA on the #LancetGate-effect downside of rescinding the prior EUA (by compensating quickly) – it will provide HCQ as an automatic standard to beat with new agents in compassionate horse-races EARLY. Basically moves up "right to try".
The fundamental problem we're ALL facing is what @zev_dr saw first – antivirals need to be early, but we perpetually move risks LATE in treatment (for good reasons). But I believe super-early and *LOW DOSE* may be KEY to next-gen agents AND antiviral therapies, avoiding tox.
I'm very excited about EIDD-2801 and RLF-100, with the latter now in use LATE. Opening up early treatment and letting HCQ be the punching bag old coach standard will breed champions. pic.twitter.com/MWGHYWG8eh
NOW – about HCQ alleged toxicity. Here is an AR-15 of logic to take down trolls.
It’s important to address the cardiac toxicity issue head on, because that “problem” is really a deflection by people who “pretend not to know” how minor the problem really is, ESPECIALLY compared to LIVES SAVED.
This is JUST AS TRUE as it was with MALARIA.
Yup. MAMET PRINCIPLE. And behind that – AUBERGINE’S RAZOR.
Systematic review of cardiac complications attributed to routine hydroxychloroquine use…
From the years 1963-2017:
– Only 50 events of cardiac toxicity (since 1963!) – Total of 12 deaths – Median patient had been taking HCQ daily for 8 YEARShttps://t.co/5hgnw6qccH
Now – here is one reason I think that NON-VACCINATION AND TREATMENT is an important option.
One of the primary reasons to use HCQ instead of a vaccine, is the likelihood that coronavirus vaccines will cause immune overreaction TO infection by the disease, instead of actual protection FROM infection.
This is a nice article which introduces you to Dr. Peter Hotez, vaccine maker, vaccine advocate, but also vaccine truth-teller on immune enhancement. Hotez is somebody very difficult for the MSM to downplay and crush. At least, SO FAR.
Scientists were close to a coronavirus vaccine years ago. Then the money dried up.
“We just could not generate much interest,” a researcher said of the difficulty in getting funding to test the vaccine in humans.
March 5, 2020, 4:30 AM EST / Updated March 8, 2020, 4:23 PM EDT
There will be more talk about immune enhancement later. Be prepared. It’s a very “sciencey” argument AGAINST mandatory vaccination. It is a much more EFFECTIVE argument than “I don’t trust Bill Gates” – even though the latter is a HUGE motivator for most people.
And now THIS.
Time To Go To WAR Over Hydroxychloroquine
What are we up against?
Something that runs us over if we DON’T put it down.
This is a Twitter thread I just did, which Twitter is WILDLY SUPPRESSING for the ChiComs.
Enjoy.
W
Why is Ohio so prominent in the fight against ChiCom-19, and taking steps so strangely ahead of the current situation? Part of it is DeWine taking old virus fighter Fauci at his word – the smart fight (see rope-a-dope) is IN THE FUTURE – not now. But that's not all….
Would you believe "Trump evading the greatest Democrat / Chinese / socialist / globalist / fake news trap and hoax yet – even bigger than Russian collusion – even uglier than Syrian chemical weapons – even deeper in the administrative state than NSC-CIA-GO8 phony impeachment"?
I believe that America's enemies (including Dem leadership) are 100% signed onto the idea that they must beat Trump in Ohio. Thus expect to see a lot of chess there. So far, all of their moves have been to try to make POTUS react too late: sneak virus forward, hold POTUS back.
I am now of the opinion that the fight for 2020 will be harder, dirtier, and more scorched earth than 2016. Trump's message in presser about "virus gone" is partially to China and Dems. Honeybadger will wrestle the bees and the cobras as long as it takes, without giving a xxxx. pic.twitter.com/JvORy9wtO8
ChiCom-19 is a far more dangerous weapon than most bioweapons, because it is *4GW* – meaning Fourth Generation Warfare. This is a term due to William S. Lind. You can tell how important 4GW is, by how hard the leftists have worked to discredit both the idea and the author. pic.twitter.com/6jzHsn9IuA
Some say ChiCom-19 is simply a hoax. Others say the virus is a real threat. Would you believe BOTH?
The moment I saw the first graph of fatality vs. age, I saw a human hand, and knew it was a cunning bioweapon – a more efficiently culling new flu without comfort of a vaccine. pic.twitter.com/eZI6LlaqWY
ChiCom-19 is extremely Alinsky – it creates a FEAR which is much bigger than the thing itself. The fear is a great and very predictable manipulator. That is the HOAXY half of it. Resisting the FEAR, the MANIPULATION and the inevitable STATIST LAWFARE is a must to PLAY SMART. pic.twitter.com/hlVgSX7kmT
However, ChiCom-19 is not a stupid hoax, like Jussie Smollett's little lynching "prank". It's actually a lot smarter than the Phony Witchhunt. It's even smarter than the Fake Whistleblower scam, which rather impressively accused a criminal investigation of being a crime. pic.twitter.com/DQBuiB6NJ9
In a world where influenza amounts to the Uranium 238 we use for dumb cool heavy bullets, ChiCom-19 is the Uranium 235 where if you make ONE bullet too big, you get something VERY unexpected.
We can create a LOCAL CRITICALITY using ChiCom-19, and we can create a 4GW explosion. pic.twitter.com/xVQ3fgO9x6
Translation: ChiCom-19 has a property like Uranium 235, which "can't help setting off the next couple of U-235 atoms". ChiCom-19 can infect the NEXT couple of people before you even know you HAVE IT. That is a beautiful property for a VIRAL BOMB. A very sneaky, hidden bomb. pic.twitter.com/bsc4l1rK2U
Broadcasting 4GW often involves working with friendlies of different kinds in "enemy territory" – providing them with things or circumstances they need to degrade enemy capabilities. Those things, including ChiCom-19, can be provided without any choice.https://t.co/9Rkk292hAJpic.twitter.com/DSGB6lTTcR
American corporate media are easily manipulated as part of 4GW, predictable in their support or opposition of memes, viewpoints, and narratives. They are particularly good at SUPPRESSING viewpoints, ideas, and realities. Suppression of Chinese responsibility is a key goal. pic.twitter.com/0yudKz8Niw
4GW is deeply tied to mass media, social media, psychology, morale, and creations of perceptions and false realities. It is far easier to defend when the enemy cannot even rally its People to see an attack. China's strong 4GW abilities are easily seen by this Wikipedia entry. pic.twitter.com/NC3T24cIZC
The Chinese aren't alone, here – their American, English, and Russian Bolshevik buddies are helping like crazy, and LEFTISM is the common denominator to follow. Here is a typical example of Soviet Marxist dregs using RT to come to the aid of China on the Wuhan virus attack. pic.twitter.com/XBlmzWkDJX
The point of all the racial blamecasting is to deflect from and deny China's role in releasing the virus. The automatic presumption of racial motive was quickly SEEDED before Americans had enough FACTS to realize that the Chinese and Iranians have been LYING from the beginning. pic.twitter.com/QOomNBPEHo
Remember "bat soup"? Well, here is what "bat soup" looks like now. The trick is this. It was never a mistake – it was 4GW. They USED our media to TEACH you a lie, and when that lie didn't work, they BLAMED you for believing the old lie ("rayciss!"), while creating a new one. pic.twitter.com/qWsennU2NX
I've been in science for a long time, so I observed CCP plants pushing racial and other psy-ops on US soil since the '80s. Their loyalty to Beijing is extreme, even when badly pretending otherwise. It helps to SLAP your old PSY-OP beliefs they all hate the CCP. They don't. pic.twitter.com/PkG5llSCvj
So back to ChiCom-19, the amazing 4GW bio-weapon that can be pushed into local criticality rather easily. Now that our MEDIA have successfully pushed to not even link it to the point of origin in CHINA, it will be doubly hard to spot the HIDDEN BLADE now deployed worldwide.
When I saw how quickly they had gotten this stuff close to China's "other Western Hemisphere problem" – Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro – going through his Press Secretary Fabio Wajngarten – well, I simply had to ADMIRE Chinese intelligence for that one. That was SLICK. pic.twitter.com/cXR844rbrN
Are you curious how the ChiComs might have done that? How they might have gotten ChiCom-19 just one hop away from Bolsonaro? It's not hard. On 3/12 "we" confirmed they nailed Wajngarten. On 3/14, look what shows up at the White House. GOOD CATCH.https://t.co/s12RtmjtGl
These incidents all in the realm and range of "spook activities". They're all plausibly deniable, and carefully contrived, easily hiding reality under several layers of smoke and mirrors, a la Mar-a-Lago.https://t.co/7rSFWXSSHy
The much more concerning way this virus goes critical is not a "sharp spike" toward one person. It is INSERTION of the virus into a small, medium, or large cluster of high-mortality potential victims. Nursing homes, retirement communities, SCOTUS, etc.https://t.co/06cvrdEH4P
Such criticalities can even go REALLY BIG, like in Italy. People are STILL debating exactly WHY Italy went critical. High age, overrun hospitals, and smoking are all theories. But the most concerning theory is TIME – that Italy did not quarantine HARD enough SOON enough. pic.twitter.com/pFzkT8ulaY
Now – here is the worst part – where the really ugly side of 4GW kicks in – especially in dealing with the immoral ChiComs. Remember the Australian brushfire ARSONISTS? The LEFTISTS who exacerbate the "global warming threat" to FURTHER THE HOAX?https://t.co/BVMXPKmScP
"Hoax to prove" is basically scientific fraud, and the mentality is quite prevalent in "climate science" – which interestingly helps China. Why? One simply has to understand SOCIAL PSYCHOLOGY at levels which the American press does not, to see how politically EFFECTIVE it is. pic.twitter.com/qwY8XX3D8e
Leftists have been socially conditioned not to see "hoax to prove" as a lie. This is what Orwell said about 2+2=5, only much nicer, without jackboots, and all filled with Oprah hugs and Ellen smuchas, as long as you believe it, too. This is why I call them the "Nazis of Nice". pic.twitter.com/YJ3bRCmpZV
The fact is, though, that somebody inevitably gets hurt in these sneaky lying hoaxes. Usually, at first, it's the alleged perpetrator. In Smollett's case, that would be people like ME with our MAGA HATS. But when TRUTH FINALLY ARRIVES, it's likely to be the ACCUSER, TOO. pic.twitter.com/aRGot17ixz
The trouble is, people DIE in arson BRUSHFIRES and hoax-based RIOTS. And they could DIE in hoaxy "proofs" of Trump's incompetence.
Don't tell me that some of these TDS-afflicted, hoax-unseeing "resistoids" aren't already HOPING for it, because – yeah – they are. "Blue wave." pic.twitter.com/YiQGFiQpf7
This person’s tweet was in reply to one of mine (see addendum), where I had stated to somebody else that I feared an Italy scenario would have happened in America if Trump had not THWARTED his opponents as he did. I do NOT believe that an Italy scenario is inevitable here – AT ALL. In fact, I feel that such thinking is unwise at best – dangerous at worst.
My initial reaction was that the person subconsciously HOPES for the bad stuff to happen to America to “get Trump”. So did several other posters, a few of whom replied to him negatively.
What is very interesting is that this TDS poster does NOT see himself AT ALL as having a “Schadenfreude for Trump Failure” worldview. And yet, I am pretty sure that most of us, reading his comment, can not only sense it, but can sense the beginnings of both hoax-tolerating TDS, and maybe even hoax-permitting TDS.
To me, this is psychology which the Chinese communists KNOW deeply, CREATE easily, and EXPLOIT routinely. All of our lying, hoaxing socialist Democrat neighbors are – IMO – the product of Chinese communist understanding of how to mass-brainwash Americans through a captive media.
I kindly ask people to treat this person nicely and not give him a bunch of shit. I sense the possibility of psychological breakthrough here. I mean, I’m trying to save Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Maybe HE can learn to save Donald Trump, who has done more to save RBG than ANY OF US.
Thanks!
Moving on again…..
Now I don't want to wish this crap into existence – that would make me no better than THEM.
But I have found that – sadly – the entire Trump base has to look out for our legitimately elected and beloved President, because the HATE against him – and US, too – is SO STRONG. pic.twitter.com/WNcV6pieYh
Even when the media pretends to back Pres. Trump, they don't. Take this corona simulator by the Evil WaPo, showing how "flattening the curve" works. The subtle hidden message is that "social distancing" works better than quarantine, so Trump is wrong.https://t.co/WqILNeMVV2
I could spend a whole thread on the trick science here. LATER. For now, note these simple facts. They never show more than one WEAK example of quarantine. They never show quarantine PLUS social distancing. And they never show their FUNDAMENTAL RELATIONSHIP.
The fact is that WE – you, me, POTUS, and all of MAGA and AMERICA – are engaged in a 4GW battle with China. POTUS cannot engage the ChiComs, the media, and their wicked ChiCom-19 weapon like WE CAN, using OUR tactics. He battles the media his way. We battle them in OUR WAYS. pic.twitter.com/AqDaNnyIQ3
We must show that CHINA attacks our cultural icons when they attack our elders. They attack our history, our culture, our religion, our flag, and the bravest defenders of these things.
To the Chinese communists, and those who helped them construct ChiCom-19, we say NO. pic.twitter.com/Xc1VA4m68d
An attack on SCOTUS is an attack on our Constitution. An attack on our Constitution is an attack on US. And an attack on US by any method – including the most cunning and deniable 4GW attacks, will be met by the most honorable and fierce 4GW counterattacks ever launched.
This was a short thread where I repeated some of these ideas differently.
We don't know what they know. China's scientific community is highly controlled. It's how they learned to surreptitiously control OUR scientific community. It's how the climate hoax worked. VERY SUBTLE control of our scientific community through advanced social sciences.
I don't believe they have any magic elixir, although they may have a vaccine, but that is not essential. From what I can see, this virus is not that far off from a naturally novel animal virus. It was tweaked just enough to add the features it needed to be a good bioweapon.
A good bioweapon should not be too lethal – especially if it is being used primarily as a 4GW weapon. HOAXING, FEAR, POLITICS, ECONOMICS. Alinsky. Think of it as wanting TEAR GAS instead of NERVE GAS. They wanted to deploy something to attack Trump and his supporters. A WEDGE.
It appears that the ChiComs believed their media control could suppress the belief that it was human-tweaked, but that was a mistake. The presence of spike changes which evidenced design cascaded to produce plausible theories of intentional use, and then it was too late to stop.
They had also published too much in journals they could not immediately silence, and had too much paper trail on collaboration in research that would be immediately damning in the event of an incident. They tried "bat soup", and then "bat soup is racist", but both failed. pic.twitter.com/mB7yYHnYfB
Not glee…just a fact. It's a shame because it didn't have to be this way.
But, think what you want to think because your petty projection of my feelings doesn't change the reality. This is a worldwide epidemic and will affect everyone. Period.
Addendum III – Miscellaneous ChiCom-19 and 4GW Tweets and Important Links
Actually, Bill, we shut it down for the ones who DIDN'T and WON'T die. My guess is the American total would have been in the tens of thousands, had we done nothing to limit COVID. And they would ALL be blamed on Trump.
I think the question is cities. Nursing homes need to be STERILE of the stuff. That's the key. We just cannot let staff become asymptomatic carriers, nor can we allow staff to come into CONTACT with asymptomatic carriers. This stuff is very dangerous to retirees & smokers.
My wife and I and neighbors (pre- and early retirement) have probably had it (Iran connection). Very contagious. Shortness of breath is the big give-away. "SARS". None of us needed hospitalization, but the two ex-smokers had it worse. A crud-type flu – you've had similar.
Because we can't be *certain* we had it, or that it won't mutate to a catchable version again, we have to be careful. My lungs are not back to 100%, so I don't want to get it again.
Maybe THAT is the primary goal here. He is being schmoozed back into the "virus and vaccine research kabuki" religion. For the record, I like REAL vaccines, but I don't trust the Clinton-Gates-Soros-China virus cabal – they're up to pop. controls, like boomer-killer ChiCom-19.
