“We do not believe any group of men adequate enough or wise enough to operate without scrutiny or without criticism. We know that the only way to avoid error is to detect it, that the only way to detect it is to be free to inquire. We know that in secrecy error undetected will flourish and subvert.” –J.

This man, making Christmas calls from the White House, believes the world is a sphere. And he has even flown around it! So has our beautiful FLOTUS, who happens to be his wife!
Truth and common sense must be valued by us, as individuals, in order to lastingly disempower the authoritarian fake news media. This includes the perniciously smarmy science media, which never answers for its errors and lies. I believe that the media has been responsible not only for leftist pathologies like scientism, medical fascism, and radical gender ideology, but also for reactionary movements like modern flat Earth, rejection of all medicine, and Biblical geological literalism.
Just as Wheatie’s Stormwatch Monday Open Thread was created as a place for people to openly express their thoughts and opinions, so, too, is this Thank God Thursday Open Thread, where honest but civil discussion of all topics is encouraged. This thread is also to be known as Theistic Evolution Thursdays, due to the author’s expected “pontification” about his scientific, religious, and political opinions. You are welcome to pontificate back! Free speech matters!
Please label all AI-generated content as being such, unless it is patently obvious (e.g., humorous AI images). It is important that we as individuals not begin to pretend that socially derived artificial intelligence is actually our own, as this form of stealthy social information averaging and feedback would be one more pretense and deception between people, in service of stupid Marxist socialism, and of those who wish to substitute their communally protected lies for actual truth.
The source of alleged truth matters, not for the truth itself, but for validation.
And yes, it’s THURSDAY…again.
And that’s it. We’re done stealing from Wheatie.
OK – maybe her rules need to be posted.
No food fights.
No running with scissors.
If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.
Other rules may be derivable from these, and that conjecture is left for discussion.
If there is nothing beyond the “W” below, then this is a placeholder. For health reasons, I can’t always post a timely opinion before each Thursday, but I will try. Otherwise, you have this placeholder post, where YOU provide the content. Enjoy!

Another mixed bag of TREATS! Three ladies who are NOT Obama’s “Furies”! And a small subterranean mammal that is NOT a rodent!
(1) I remember when I first heard this stuff, too! “Who is this band? Where have they BEEN?”
(2) Human anthropology. Complicated. Again. Even when it’s not really THE NEXT BIG THING.
(3) This may seems complicated, but it boils down to “chicken and egg” – and you know the rest!
(4) It’s MOLE DAY. October 23. And Mole Minute is 6:02 AM. Enjoy the moment!
A mole is basically the ratio between number of atoms and the weight of stuff. The units are “per mole” or /mole.
6.02 x 10^23 (six point zero two times 10 to the 23rd power), or……
The mole number is arbitrary – it is not set by nature. It was chosen to make our chosen units of laboratory weights (grams) align with the numbers of protons and neutrons in the various atoms. E.g., so that one mole of hydrogen atoms weighed roughly a gram, and one mole of carbon atoms weighs roughly 12 grams. We could have English moles, Imperial moles, or even Star Trek Federation moles using some different standard of weight.
One way to think about this, is that a few grams of stuff (say, 56 grams of iron) is a little over a mole of it, meaning just over six hundred sextillion atoms.
Given that there are an estimated 10^80 atoms in the universe, a mere 10^23 atoms is just ONE 10^57th of it.
That’s 1/1000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000th of the universe. That’s not much.
That’s enough for today. Have a great weekend!

Wolf thinks that the word woonerf looks appropriately Dutch. He finds the concept fascinating, because there is little difference between woonerfs and “tiny, bad, and poorly maintained public streets mixed with small private drives, alleys, and overly long driveways, all mixed into a residential mess where you’re not actually sure where the road ends and something else begins.” Not that he’s ever seen such a place!

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.
Yesterday evening began a long discussion of Dark Brandon’s little speech with the odd lighting that created a Nazi eagle illusion in Independence Hall (yes, they’re THAT evil).
(H/T RAC)
Among the things I said was this:
I think this was for the literally satanic part of his audience.
This was a “rite” of some kind.
Later, I said this:
Several of the top Nazis were occultists. Two of the top BLM gals are practicing satanists. Hollywood loves it like a good fetish.
I am certain there is a big satanic component behind this puppet government.
Gil00 asked me to expand on this, as well as other comments further down the page.
First of all, do read Sadie’s comments HERE, which I am also including now.
DP posted this tweet upthread, but I wanted to make a separate thread about it.
Today—9/1—is the start of False Flag season. The numbers 9 and 1 almost always show up in their major ops (9/11, COVID-19, Route 91 Las Vegas concert).
So no, Ric, I don’t think this was a “huge mistake” at all. I think the date and set are deliberate. I think this is a ritual or, at the very least, the official start of their new psy-op for false flag season.
Dark blood red background, evil and condescending tone of voice & squinting eyes.
Negative words & themes – and constant condemnation.
4chan weighs in on The Ritual. Predictions are that they’re laying the groundwork for 1) arresting Trump, 2) executive order “fortifying” the upcoming mid-terms (prediction not pictured in screenshot), or 3) assassination psy-op (wouldn’t surprise me at this point if that’s how they discard the puppet). Only posting this in case one of the above actually happens. They’re clearly laying the groundwork for something.
I don’t really have insight into what the satanic or Luciferian goals are here, but I want to talk about some things that will assure you of exactly what we are up against, and why your faith in God – and from that, in His divine providence for America – through the most terrible times – is absolutely critical.
First, let’s look at the symbolism of “the red and the black”. The following web site is an amazing reference. I really encourage you to check it out, to see examples of red/black occult symbolism.
“To worship Lucifer, one must wear mostly red and black.”
Note that not everybody who ever wore red and black was a satanist or Luciferian. You can rightly assume that every occultist worshiping Lucifer has likewise not worn black and red, either. That’s not what I’m saying, and not what the reference implies. However, you can be sure that there are people in Hollywood and the music industry, who are actively promoting satanic and Luciferian memes, actions, images and references, to be fronted by the people they control. A fashion choice of red and black often has MEANING. Remember that LIES are fine with these people. Implications that their “stars” are on a satanic or Luciferian path may simply be one more deception. Or maybe not. The SYMBOLS, however, are often the point.
Now – I had learned about the “red/black” occult thing when I was much younger. I had a friend who had the most excellent Blue Oyster Cult double album, way back when, which made me an instant fan of their music.
Our peer group debated whether the members of Blue Oyster Cult were ACTUALLY occultists of some kind, or just making teasing references to occult things.
Some of my friends assured me that these people were just kidding around – that they were very smart and intelligent people, having a good time by making all these satanic references, but no way were they ACTUALLY occultists, which we thought was dumb.
I mean, the name of the album is “On Your Feet Or On Your Knees” – right? The gloved hand holding the song listing on the vinyl? YAGODDABEKIDDIN. Right? It is SO over the top. Just ridiculous.
Well, the occult symbolism is indeed so pervasive, that I figured out EVENTUALLY, one way or the other, it’s not good. My attitude about Satan and the occult NOW is that it’s all one big classic “fuck around and find out” scenario. You gonna dabble, even “not really”? You gonna die.
But back then? Aw, it’s just stupid and funny. These people can’t be REAL occultists. They’re just having a good time.
BUT – setting that all aside, one of my friends was very informed about Satanists, and he assured me that the song “The Red and the Black”, which appears on that double album, was glorifying the satanic colors – which were also the Nazi colors.
Using another BOC song, “ME 262” – about a German WWII airplane, this person convinced me that the members of the band were also, to some extent, what we called “Hitler freaks” – people who were fascinated by Hitler and the Nazis – but not ACTUALLY Nazis. Indeed, back in that day, a lot of Jewish guys laughed at and made fun of Nazis – both the originals and any reincarnations. ME 262 seemed in that vein. Again, THAT was part of why “The Red and The Black” seemed similarly unserious. It wasn’t just an occult joking thing – it was also a Nazi joking thing.
But LISTEN TO THE WORDS OF ME 262 NOW.
He told me that BOC “got off” on sliding nutty lyrics and topics past people – that this somewhat cynical love of fooling people was really what was going on – and NOT that these people were real occultists of any kind.
Even the band’s name, which can be abbreviated as “B. O. Cult”, was just guys with a sense of humor.
Now – you may accept that, or not. You may realize that “fooling people” is a HUGE part of the occult – or you may think one would be overreacting to be suspicious of comedy. But what I’m going to do now is to freak you out just a bit.
You have surely heard “Don’t Fear The Reaper”, and the innocent explanation thereof. We’ve discussed that on this site. As many have noted, there are even Christian interpretations of the song.
Here is an exemplary “normie” reaction to the song.
But where I want to take you next, is the transition from normie to how this song has “naturally” been used in movies and television.
If that album cover with the magician is going to wake you up a bit, now might be a good time.
Watch the transition in the first few minutes of this next video (which you have to watch on YouTube).
First, the song was used in the horror movie Halloween – and its remake.
It was also used in the TV adaptation of Stephen King’s “The Stand” – as the background music peering over dead bodies from a “real” pandemic.
The rest of the analysis shows that this really is an ingenious song – but I truly want to caution people that, just because there is definitely a nice, innocent, and almost (but not quite) pure reading of it – indeed, a very tempting reading of it – there are MANY other readings of it.
And THAT gets to the heart of BOC’s music, IMO. It is indeed poetic, having layers of meanings. And if you’ve read anything about the poets of yore, you know that they themselves often had multiple levels to their own personas, many of those levels FAR from moral.
Now – let’s get back to “The Red and the Black”.
Another version of the song:
Here are the lyrics.
[Verse 1: Eric Bloom] Canadian Mounted, baby Police force at work Red and Black It’s their color scheme Get their man In the end
[Chorus: Eric Bloom] (It’s all right) it’s all right (It’s all right) it’s all right (It’s all right) oh yeah, my honey knows it’s all right (It’s all right) it’s all right (It’s all right) it’s all right (All right) oh yeah, baby knows it’s all right (You’d kill, you’d maim) ah, c’mon kill ’em (You’d kill, look out) [Verse 2: Eric Bloom] C’mon my husky Frontenac Chateau, baby I cross the frontier at ten I got a whip in my hand, baby And a girl or a husky At leather’s end
[Chorus: Eric Bloom] (It’s all right) it’s all right (It’s all right) it’s all right (It’s all right) oh yeah, baby knows it’s all right (It’s all right) it’s all right (It’s all right) it’s all right (All right) oh yeah, baby, yeah it’s all right (You’d kill, you’d maim) ah, c’mon kill ’em now (You’d kill, you’d maim)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3: Eric Bloom] Hornswoop me bungo pony on dogsled on ice! Make a dash for freedom, baby Don’t skate on polar ice It’s too thick to be sliced by the light! Of long and white polar nights [Chorus: Eric Bloom] (It’s all right) it’s all right (It’s all right) it’s all right (It’s all right) oh yeah, baby knows it’s all right (It’s all right) it’s all right (It’s all right) it’s all right (All right) yeah, knows it’s all right (You’d kill, you’d maim) ah, c’mon and kill now (You’d kill, you’d maim) maim ’em too Ah, break it up
[Instrumental Outro]
Ah – so “The Red and the Black” is just a fun, nutty song about the Canadian Mounties?
Maybe the same mounties that seem to have gone the way of the FBI vis-a-vis those truckers who didn’t want to get injected with a globalist depopulation shot?
TRUDEAU'S MOUNTED STORMTROOPERS TRAMPLE ELDERLY LADY. Trudeau must be stopped. This is not Canada. pic.twitter.com/3YWsIqegkv
What I find interesting is that by making a bit of a “Canada to Germany” switch, the song makes a lot more sense. My friend back in the day swore that the song was a thinly disguised glorification of “S&M”, and that it was indeed about the Nazis.
Who knows?
And if band members said otherwise, would you believe them?
No matter what, I think we should all take note of which B.O. Cult album that song happens to appear on.
Tyranny and Mutation
Kind of an odd coincidence, for sure. But that’s how things roll in the Satanic world, IMO. Signs and warnings. Which is also why “symbolism is their downfall”.
(Hat tips WSB and Sadie)……
Seriously, the back of that album tells you a lot about the band. Worth a close reading.
“Diabolically imagistic lyrics”?
Or as stated by a critic…..
Robert Christgau, writing for The Village Voice, praised the band’s disregard for “the entire heavy ethos”, but wondered if the “parody-surreal refraction of the abysmal ‘poetry’ of heavy” in the lyrics could be a start for a return to conformism.[9]
