Dear KMAG: 20230626 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


Next week, we will start a new half-year of Monday posts.

I may take some liberties with the format! Be brave!


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And yes, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

‘Cuz Wheatie Sez!

Just like Trump!

So HOLD ON for the ride of your life!

WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL

by Duchess01


Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know
That you had left us with armor in tow
We had no idea with what you dealt
We did not know the pain you felt
And now we can only imagine
With you what really did happen
Cause rarely did you complain 
And/or share your personal pain
Of one thing we are most certain
You are flying high behind the curtain
Watching over us above the crowds
Our Warrior Angel above the clouds
Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us
While you were here among the fuss
We miss you dear you have no idea
Since time began in the pangaea
With you there was no time
In your wisdom you would chime
To clarify and magnify
The what where how and why
We did not question when you left
We were not slightly bereft
But over time we wondered why
You did not at least stop by
Now we know where you have gone
With the break of this new dawn
We could be angry but are not
Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot
Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear
Send us a sign that you are near
A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain
From your love do not refrain
God sends Angels to watch over us
And now we have an Angel Plus
A Warrior Angel of Magnificence
From today and forward hence

The Rules

TL;DR –

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.


MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1

Now shortened.

Give them nothing.

Play smart. Every minute, the COUPISTS who stole the election – who lied – who deserve to be at the business end of the very same laws they are using so wrongly against the January Sixth defendants – are trying to set you up. Don’t be a chump. Turn everything back against THEM. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second.

LIKE SUNDANCE DID HERE.

AND HERE…..

Occam’s Razor – Fed Entrapment

YOU are responsible for your own comments, if they come knocking. YOUR choice. Just remember this…..

For an updated version…..

And for a version that includes your having righteously defended yourself…..

OTHER THAN THAT…….


The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.

Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.

SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]

We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.

Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.

In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.

We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).

We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.

If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.

We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.

In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”


A Moment of Prayer

Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.

Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won TWO elections.

You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.


Musical Interlude

In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.

Gotta listen to “Drinkaby again! That’s in the RULES now! (JUST KIDDING)

Sorry – can’t keep this one out of my head, so gotta make myself sick of it first!

So here you go – Drinkaby first DONE, then explained – in English and Chinese.

Some interesting background on the song:

I think I may be done with the line dances, but here’s a live version in ST. LOUIS!

Was DePat sneaking into a Cole Swindell concert? You never know! And if I did, I wouldn’t be telling!


Call To Battle

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:


implosion

noun

  • A violent collapse inward, as of a highly evacuated glass vessel.
  • Violent compression.
  • The inward collapse of a building that is being demolished in a controlled fashion by the weakening and breaking of structural members by explosives.

Use in politics:

Typically, the term means the collapse or crisis of some political entity due to internal shortcomings or some kind of self-inflicted damage.

Recently, almost entirely used against Trump, and rarely against Democrats unless there is internal party criticism involved.

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=implosion+politics&t=brave&ia=web

How implosion was likely experienced on the Titan:

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/titanic-sub-search-catastrophic-implosion-rcna90744

What is an implosion, and what would it have been like for the Titan sub passengers?

The Titan submersible was so deep, experts told NBC News, that the forces crushing it would have been equivalent to the weight of the Eiffel Tower.

The deep-sea water pressure that appears to have crushed the 22-foot craft would have been roughly equivalent in weight to the 10,000-ton, wrought-iron Eiffel Tower, experts told NBC News on Friday. The colossal forces would have acted so quickly that it would be like the vehicle’s carbon-fiber hull “suddenly vanishing” before anyone inside knew what was happening, one expert said.

“They would have known nothing — the minute this body of water hit them, they would have been dead,” said Paul White, a professor at England’s University of Southampton, who specializes in underwater acoustics and forces.

“The air inside would compress down to a point, and the forces of the water rushing in and the collapse would be enormous,” he said. “Structurally,” he added, it would be equivalent of the capsule housing the crew “suddenly vanishing.”

“This whole process from start to finish is happening in the blink of an eyelid, the click of a finger,” he said. “I don’t think there would have been any suffering or any knowledge of what happened.”

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:


litmus test

noun

  • A test for chemical acidity or basicity using litmus paper.
  • A test that uses a single indicator to prompt a decision.
  • A simple test for the acidity or alkalinity of a substance, using litmus paper.

Use in politics:

In politics, a litmus test is a question asked of a potential candidate for high office, the answer to which would determine whether the nominating official would proceed with the appointment or nomination. The expression is a metaphor based on the litmus test in chemistry, in which one is able to test the general acidity of a substance, but not its exact pH. Those who must approve a nominee may also be said to apply a litmus test to determine whether the nominee will receive their vote. In these contexts, the phrase comes up most often with respect to nominations to the judiciary.

Lichen source of litmus (one of many):

Chemical structure of the color principle of litmus:

Classic litmus paper

Modern litmus paper

In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.

Let’s start off in a “Wheatie way” with some epic orchestral violins!

OK – how about some country music? I just heard this one on the radio. Never heard it before.

Now this is just interesting. YouTube keeps trying to suggest Taylor Swift to me, but the first song it suggested was a duet with one of the [Dixie] Chicks, which shows you exactly where Menshevik YouTube was trying to send me – to MARXIST QUISLING CITY.

Well, I looked further down the list of treasonous suggestions, and the same guest vocalist Luke Bryan in the above video is in this one, but it’s six years earlier.

Remember – Taylor Swift started off in country / folk. Then Hollywood does its thing.

Useful strategic information in the culture wars.

But let’s finish off with a real treat.

Some country line dancers send off one of their friends with his favorite song.

OK – I’m not done. ONE. MORE. SONG!!!

Let’s finish off with something “fresh” in SuSE world!

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Week:


Wolbachia

proper noun (how to pronounce)

Wolbachia is a genus of intracellular bacteria that infects mainly arthropod species, including a high proportion of insects, and also some nematodes. It is one of the most common parasitic microbes, and is possibly the most common reproductive parasite in the biosphere. Its interactions with its hosts are often complex, and in some cases have evolved to be mutualistic rather than parasitic. Some host species cannot reproduce, or even survive, without Wolbachia colonization. One study concluded that more than 16% of neotropical insect species carry bacteria of this genus, and as many as 25 to 70% of all insect species are estimated to be potential hosts.

History of Wolbachia:

The genus was first identified in 1924 by Marshall Hertig and Simeon Burt Wolbach in the common house mosquito. They described it as “a somewhat pleomorphic, rodlike, Gram-negative, intracellular organism [that] apparently infects only the ovaries and testes“. Hertig formally described the species in 1936, and proposed both the generic and specific names: Wolbachia pipientis. Research on Wolbachia intensified after 1971, when Janice Yen and A. Ralph Barr of UCLA discovered that Culex mosquito eggs were killed by a cytoplasmic incompatibility when the sperm of Wolbachia-infected males fertilized infection-free eggs. The genus Wolbachia is of considerable interest today due to its ubiquitous distribution, its many different evolutionary interactions, and its potential use as a biocontrol agent.

Why Bill Gates is probably interested in Wolbachia:

Note: This is just the beginning. Look HERE for more.

These bacteria can infect many different types of organs, but are most notable for the infections of the testes and ovaries of their hosts. Wolbachia species are ubiquitous in mature eggs, but not mature sperm. Only infected females, therefore, pass the infection on to their offspring. Wolbachia bacteria maximize their spread by significantly altering the reproductive capabilities of their hosts, with four different phenotypes:

  • Male killing occurs when infected males die during larval development, which increases the rate of born, infected females.
  • Feminization results in infected males that develop as females or infertile pseudofemales. This is especially prevalent in Lepidoptera species such as the adzuki bean borer (Ostrinia scapulalis).
  • Parthenogenesis is reproduction of infected females without males. Some scientists have suggested that parthenogenesis may always be attributable to the effects of Wolbachia. Though this is not the case for the marbled crayfish. An example of parthenogenesis induced by presence of Wolbachia are some species within the Trichogramma parasitoid wasp genus, which have evolved to procreate without males due to the presence of Wolbachia. Males are rare in this genus of wasp, possibly because many have been killed by that same strain of Wolbachia.
  • Cytoplasmic incompatibility is the inability of Wolbachia-infected males to successfully reproduce with uninfected females or females infected with another Wolbachia strain. This reduces the reproductive success of those uninfected females and therefore promotes the infecting strain. In the cytoplasmic incompatibility mechanism, Wolbachia interferes with the parental chromosomes during the first mitotic divisions to the extent that they can no longer divide in synchrony.

Several host species, such as those within the genus Trichogramma, are so dependent on sexual differentiation of Wolbachia that they are unable to reproduce effectively without the bacteria in their bodies, and some might even be unable to survive uninfected.

One study on infected woodlice showed the broods of infected organisms had a higher proportion of females than their uninfected counterparts.

Wolbachia, especially Wolbachia-caused cytoplasmic incompatibility, may be important in promoting speciation. Wolbachia strains that distort the sex ratio may alter their host’s pattern of sexual selection in nature, and also engender strong selection to prevent their action, leading to some of the fastest examples of natural selection in natural populations.

The male killing and feminization effects of Wolbachia infections can also lead to speciation in their hosts. For example, populations of the pill woodlouse, Armadillidium vulgare which are exposed to the feminizing effects of Wolbachia, have been known to lose their female-determining chromosome. In these cases, only the presence of Wolbachia can cause an individual to develop into a female. Cryptic species of ground wētā (Hemiandrus maculifrons complex) are host to different lineages of Wolbachia which might explain their speciation without ecological or geographical separation.

Wolbachia infection has been linked to viral resistance in Drosophila melanogaster, Drosophila simulans, and mosquito species. Flies, including mosquitoes, infected with the bacteria are more resistant to RNA viruses such as Drosophila C virus, norovirus, flock house virus, cricket paralysis virus, chikungunya virus, and West Nile virus.

In the common house mosquito, higher levels of Wolbachia were correlated with more insecticide resistance.

In leafminers of the species Phyllonorycter blancardella, Wolbachia bacteria help their hosts produce green islands on yellowing tree leaves, that is, small areas of leaf remaining fresh, allowing the hosts to continue feeding while growing to their adult forms. Larvae treated with tetracycline, which kills Wolbachia, lose this ability and subsequently only 13% emerge successfully as adult moths.

Muscidifurax uniraptor, a parasitoid wasp, also benefits from hosting Wolbachia bacteria.

In the parasitic filarial nematode species responsible for elephantiasis, such as Brugia malayi and Wuchereria bancrofti, Wolbachia has become an obligate endosymbiont and provides the host with chemicals necessary for its reproduction and survival. Elimination of the Wolbachia symbionts through antibiotic treatment therefore prevents reproduction of the nematode, and eventually results in its premature death.

Some Wolbachia species that infect arthropods also provide some metabolic provisioning to their hosts. In Drosophila melanogaster, Wolbachia is found to mediate iron metabolism under nutritional stress and in Cimex lectularius, the Wolbachia strain cCle helps the host to synthesize B vitamins.

Some Wolbachia strains have increased their prevalence by increasing their hosts’ fecundity. Wolbachia strains captured from 1988 in southern California still induce a fecundity deficit, but nowadays the fecundity deficit is replaced with a fecundity advantage such that infected Drosophila simulans produces more offspring than the uninfected ones.

Wolbachia often manipulates host reproduction and life-history in a way that favours its own propagation. In the Pharaoh ant, Wolbachia infection correlates with increased colony-level production of reproductives (i.e., greater reproductive investment), and earlier onset of reproductive production (i.e., shorter life-cycle). Infected colonies also seem to grow more rapidly. There is substantial evidence that the presence of Wolbachia that induce parthenogenesis have put pressure on species to reproduce primarily or entirely this way.

Additionally, Wolbachia has been seen to decrease the lifespan of Aedes aegypti, carriers of mosquito-borne diseases, and it decreases their efficacy of pathogen transmission because older mosquitoes are more likely to have become carriers of one of those diseases. This has been exploited as a method for pest control.

The first Wolbachia genome to be determined was that of one that infects D. melanogaster fruit flies. This genome was sequenced at The Institute for Genomic Research in a collaboration between Jonathan Eisen and Scott O’Neill. The second Wolbachia genome to be determined was one that infects Brugia malayi nematodes. Genome sequencing projects for several other Wolbachia strains are in progress. A nearly complete copy of the Wolbachia genome sequence was found within the genome sequence of the fruit fly Drosophila ananassae and large segments were found in seven other Drosophila species.

In an application of DNA barcoding to the identification of species of Protocalliphora flies, several distinct morphospecies had identical cytochrome c oxidase I gene sequences, most likely through horizontal gene transfer (HGT) by Wolbachia species as they jump across host species. As a result, Wolbachia can cause misleading results in molecular cladistical analyses. It is estimated that between 20 and 50 percent of insect species have evidence of HGT from Wolbachia—passing from microbes to animal (i.e. insects).

Wolbachia species also harbor a bacteriophage called bacteriophage WO or phage WO. Comparative sequence analyses of bacteriophage WO offer some of the most compelling examples of large-scale horizontal gene transfer between Wolbachia coinfections in the same host. It is the first bacteriophage implicated in frequent lateral transfer between the genomes of bacterial endosymbionts. Gene transfer by bacteriophages could drive significant evolutionary change in the genomes of intracellular bacteria that were previously considered highly stable or prone to loss of genes over time.

The small non-coding RNAs WsnRNA-46 and WsnRNA-59 in Wolbachia were detected in Aedes aegypti mosquitoes and Drosophila melanogaster. The small RNAs (sRNAs) may regulate bacterial and host genes. Highly conserved intragenic region sRNA called ncrwmel02 was also identified in Wolbachia pipientis. It is expressed in four different strains in a regulated pattern that differs according to the sex of the host and the tissue localisation. This suggested that the sRNA may play important roles in the biology of Wolbachia.

Outside of insects, Wolbachia infects a variety of isopod species, spiders, mites, and many species of filarial nematodes (a type of parasitic worm), including those causing onchocerciasis (river blindness) and elephantiasis in humans, as well as heartworms in dogs. Not only are these disease-causing filarial worms infected with Wolbachia, but Wolbachia also seems to play an inordinate role in these diseases.

A large part of the pathogenicity of filarial nematodes is due to host immune response toward their Wolbachia. Elimination of Wolbachia from filarial nematodes generally results in either death or sterility of the nematode. Consequently, current strategies for control of filarial nematode diseases include elimination of their symbiotic Wolbachia via the simple doxycycline antibiotic, rather than directly killing the nematode with often more toxic antinematode medications.

WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL

by Duchess01


Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know
That you had left us with armor in tow
We had no idea with what you dealt
We did not know the pain you felt
And now we can only imagine
With you what really did happen
Cause rarely did you complain 
And/or share your personal pain
Of one thing we are most certain
You are flying high behind the curtain
Watching over us above the crowds
Our Warrior Angel above the clouds
Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us
While you were here among the fuss
We miss you dear you have no idea
Since time began in the pangaea
With you there was no time
In your wisdom you would chime
To clarify and magnify
The what where how and why
We did not question when you left
We were not slightly bereft
But over time we wondered why
You did not at least stop by
Now we know where you have gone
With the break of this new dawn
We could be angry but are not
Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot
Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear
Send us a sign that you are near
A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain
From your love do not refrain
God sends Angels to watch over us
And now we have an Angel Plus
A Warrior Angel of Magnificence
From today and forward hence

The Rules

TL;DR –

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.


MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1

Now shortened.

Give them nothing.

Play smart. Every minute, the COUPISTS who stole the election – who lied – who deserve to be at the business end of the very same laws they are using so wrongly against the January Sixth defendants – are trying to set you up. Don’t be a chump. Turn everything back against THEM. Every day, every hour, every minute, every second.

LIKE SUNDANCE DID HERE.

AND HERE…..

Occam’s Razor – Fed Entrapment

YOU are responsible for your own comments, if they come knocking. YOUR choice. Just remember this…..

For an updated version…..

And for a version that includes your having righteously defended yourself…..

OTHER THAN THAT…….


The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.

Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.

SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]

We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.

Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.

In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.

We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).

We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.

If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.

We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.

In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”


A Moment of Prayer

Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.

Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won TWO elections.

You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.


Musical Interlude

In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.

OK

Sorry people, but I heard this here country song today, booming out of a bar, after walking out of a diner, having just eaten the best breakfast in years, and you’re gonna hear this song until you’re sick of it!

DRINKABY

(this version’s for Kalbo!)

WHAT? This song has lyrics? Well, I’ll be! I never noticed! Let’s look at them lyrics!

So how about the official video? Heck – let’s listen to it again!

What the heck! Where’s the beef? DANG! That’s not a video. That a picture!

We’ll have to look at another line dance to make up for the disappointment!

Apparently Korean chicks LOVE this song. There are TONS of videos of Korean gals dancing to “Drinkaby”. So, given that I love ALL CHICKS, and KOREAN CHICKS are a valid subset of ALL CHICKS, we’re gonna watch another one, just to prove I wasn’t lyin’ about it!

Well, shucks. If we can’t find a REAL VIDEO for THAT song, we’ll just grab another Cole Swindell drinking song, and call it good!

Pour another round for the boys, and let’s have a toast to DOUBLE-X, my friends!


Call To Battle

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wool-Fee’s Weediest Words of the Weak:


malapropism, eggcorn, and mondegreen

Examples of mondegreen:

  • Africa – When Toto’s lead singer croons, “bless the rains down in Africa,” some listeners mistake the first few words for left my brains.
  • Away in a Manger – Even Christmas songs aren’t immune to mondegreen. Instead of hearing “the cattle are lowing,” some people incorrectly understand the lyric to say that they’re lonely.
  • Blowin’ in the Wind  Bob Dylan advises listeners, “the answer my friends, is blowin’ in the wind,” but not everyone hears it that way. Some perceive the first part of that line as saying the ants are my friends.
  • Bohemian Rhapsody – While this Queen song does have some nonsense words, the tune doesn’t actually reference saving someone from warm sausage tea. Instead, Freddie Mercury sings “… spare him his life from this monstrosity,” with a strong emphasis on each syllable.
  • Brass in Pocket – The Pretenders tell listeners, “I’m gonna use my sidestep,” but not everyone hears the last word correctly. Some think they’re saying sausage instead of sidestep.
  • Dancing Queen – Abba says to “feel the beat from the tambourine,” though some listeners insist the singer croons the word tangerine instead.
  • Every Time You Go Away – People who hear meat instead of me when Paul Young sings “you take away a piece of me with you” must think the singer’s freezer is being robbed.
  • Happy – When Pharell sings “happiness is the truth,” some people think he’s actually saying that “happiness is the zoo.”
  • High on You – The words of this Survivor song reference “piercin’ eyes like a raven,” though listeners often mishear the song as saying glistening eyes.
  • I‘m a Believer – After the Monkees croon, “then I saw her face, now” some think they follow up with “I’m gonna leave her.” What they really say, though, is “I’m a believer.”
  • Livin on a Prayer – Contrary to popular belief, Bon Jovi doesn’t suggest nudity in this song. Some mishear the last part of “it doesn’t really matter if we make it or not” as saying naked or not.
  • Losing My Religion – R.E.M. croons, “That’s me in the corner. That’s me in the spotlight.” Many listeners mistake the word “me” for pee in both of these sentences.
  • Money for Nothing – Listeners often think this Dire Straits song references free chips, when the lyrics actually reference “money for nothing and your chicks for free.”
  • Our Lips are Sealed – The Go-Gos sing about “the jealous games people play,” but some people hear Dallas instead of jealous.
  • Smells Like Teen Spirit – In this Nirvana song, Kurt Cobain sings, “here we are now, entertain us,” though some people interpret the last two words as in containers.
  • Suspicious Minds – Elvis Presly croons, “we’re caught in a trap,” but some listeners seem to think the last word is actually trout.
  • Drift Away – When Uncle Kracker sings, “Give me the beat boys and free my soul,” it sounds a bit like he’s saying Beach Boys.
  • Waterfalls – In this song, TLC advises readers, “don’t go chasing waterfalls.” though some readers think they’re trying to keep someone named Jason Waterfalls from leaving.
  • We Found Love – When Rhianna sings “what it takes to come alive,” some listeners mishear the end of the line as form a line instead of “come alive.”
  • Rocket Man – The Elton John line “burning out his fuse up here alone” has been misheard many ways, including running out of fuel and heading home and burning up the trees on every lawn. Volkswagen even used this mondegreen in a commercial.

In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.

FIRST – a quick, 3-minute version of the end theme from Gladiator, including dialog. I posted this earlier in a reply to Tradebait on his latest BMID. I consider Gladiator a very symbolic movie, which has a lot to say about Christianity, but very subtly, and mixed well into everything else.

If you liked that, an extended version, starting earlier, with the movie showing in the background!

How about something YouTube suggested? From the EP “Luna”, by Tony Anderson, a title called “Eternal Spring”. The visuals are really something!

And now – some fine country music just for today!

Finally, some music to go with our featured image “fantasy tree”!

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year Week:


equity

noun

  • the state or quality of being just and fair.
  • something that is just and fair.
  • sustice achieved not simply according to the strict letter of the law but in accordance with principles of substantial justice and the unique facts of the case.
  • the amount of money that would be returned to a company’s shareholders if all of the assets were liquidated and all of the company’s debt was paid off in the case of liquidation.
  • the value of company sales minus any liabilities owed by the company not transferred with the sale.
  • the book value of a company.
  • payment-in-kind.
  • the pro-rata ownership of a company’s shares.

Wolf’s additional definitions:

  • how tyrants and criminals violate both the letter and spirit of the law, in the name of “fairness” and “justice”, while tipping the scales to favor themselves, their friends, and their fellow criminals.
  • injustice under the color of justice, ironically often done for the sake of “color”.
  • a redundancy, in that “equitable justice” really means “just justice”, meaning je ne sais quoi justice, or seat-of-the-robe justice.
  • justice by feeling and not by law.
  • an admission that the law is not working, so “fuck the law – we’ll just do what we like.”
  • a legal kludge, which is easily abused, where judicial algorithms break down, and people resort to flimsy neural net solutions, typically with strongly biased inputs.

Wikipedia definition (financial):

In finance, equity is an ownership interest in property that may be offset by debts or other liabilities. Equity is measured for accounting purposes by subtracting liabilities from the value of the assets owned. For example, if someone owns a car worth $24,000 and owes $10,000 on the loan used to buy the car, the difference of $14,000 is equity. Equity can apply to a single asset, such as a car or house, or to an entire business. A business that needs to start up or expand its operations can sell its equity in order to raise cash that does not have to be repaid on a set schedule.

When liabilities attached to an asset exceed its value, the difference is called a deficit and the asset is informally said to be “underwater” or “upside-down”. In government finance or other non-profit settings, equity is known as “net position” or “net assets”.

Investopedia definition:

Wikipedia definition (legal):

Equity is a particular body of law that was developed in the English Court of Chancery.[1] Its general purpose is to provide a remedy for situations where the law is not flexible enough for the usual court system to deliver a fair resolution to a case.[2] The concept of equity is deeply intertwined with its historical origins in the common law system used in England.[2] However, equity is in some ways a separate system from common law: it has its own established rules and principles, and was historically administered by separate courts, called “courts of equity” or “courts of chancery”.[2]

Equity exists in domestic law, both in civil law and in common law systems, and in international law.[1] The tradition of equity begins in antiquity with the writings of Aristotle (epieikeia) and with Roman law (aequitas).[1][3] Later, in civil law systems, equity was integrated in the legal rules, while in common law systems it became an independent body of law.[1]

Used in a Sentence:

“Climate equity is the goal of recognizing and addressing the unequal burdens made worse by climate change, while ensuring that all people share the benefits of climate protection efforts. Achieving equity means that all people—regardless of their race, color, gender, age, sexuality, national origin, ability, or income—live in safe, healthy, fair communities.” -US EPA

We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.

Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.

In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.

We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).

We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.

If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.

We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.

In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”


A Moment of Prayer

Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.

Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won TWO elections.

You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.


Musical Interlude

In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.

FIRST – some epic piano….. dubstep?

OK – I’m feeling something, and I need some Tom Petty. This one!

Now, in honor of the BRANCH COVIDIANS just waiting to come back with their mandates…..

And finally – what the heck – ONE MORE TIME! (*wink*)

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year Week:


supermajority

noun

  • a majority (such as two-thirds or three-fifths) greater than a simple majority.
  • a majority that must represent some percentage more than a simple majority.
  • a requirement for a proposal to gain a specified level or type of support which exceeds a simple majority in order to have effect.
  • a vote that must exceed the number of votes comprising a simple majority.
  • also called a qualified majority

Wikipedia definition:

A supermajority, is a requirement for a proposal to gain a specified level of support which is greater than the threshold of more than one-half used for a simple majority. Supermajority rules in a democracy can help to prevent a majority from eroding fundamental rights of a minority, but they can also hamper efforts to respond to problems and encourage corrupt compromises at times when action is taken.

Used in a Sentence:

  • Representative Tricia Cotham switched parties, giving NC Republicans the supermajority they need to override any veto by Gov. Roy Cooper.
  • Tennessee is one of an increasing number of states (19 Republican, nine Democratic) where one party has a “supermajority,” such a lopsided advantage that it can override a governor’s veto without relying on votes from the other party.
  • For the first time in nearly a half century, there is a six-justice conservative supermajority on the U.S. Supreme Court — six justices with clearly expressed views against abortion rights.

The TRANS Agenda – Finding the Roots in Pharma, Finance, Fetish, Tech and Transhumanism

TRANS is clearly not an organic, ground-up movement. It seems to have some shadowy, top-down implementation, that speaks to a non-human or anti-human origin. When people call it demonic, I have to agree. If people called it alien, I would not dismiss the charge.

One of the first people to note how much of a role BILLIONAIRE FAMILIES have in the TRANS agenda, was Jennifer Bilek. People don’t generally remember her name in that regard, but she is the one who exposed the deep role of the notorious Pritzkers in promoting TRANS.


The Billionaire Family Pushing Synthetic Sex Identities (SSI)

The wealthy, powerful, and sometimes very weird Pritzker cousins have set their sights on a new God-like goal: using gender ideology to remake human biology

JENNIFER BILEK
JUNE 14, 2022

https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/billionaire-family-pushing-synthetic-sex-identities-ssi-pritzkers


Well, she has dug even deeper, and it is very clear that the movement was seeded into a combination of the following:

  • Big Finance
  • Big Pharma
  • Big Tech
  • male fetishists
  • globalists
  • transhumanists
  • progressives

Her research is now explained in a REALLY great Substack article and YouTube video.


Who Is Behind The Trans Agenda?

What The Pharma-Backed Media Don’t Want You To Hear

JENNIFER BILEK
MAR 25, 2023

https://jbilek.substack.com/p/who-is-behind-the-trans-agenda


This Substack hosts a very UN-SEXY YouTube video that I cannot recommend enough. The video is overly talky, repeatedly tangential, repetitive, progressive-centric, and “TERF-jargony” (trans-excluding radical feminist), and yet it contains information that really breaks open the entire TRANS conspiracy.

If you want to understand WHY Matt Walsh vs. sex surgery profiteering was so instantly successful in Tennessee, and why the FIGHT BACK by MK trans shooters was necessarily centered there, this explains it.

If you want to understand why TRANS has become enshrined in Jaydolph Inslee’s Washington state and Pritzker’s Chicago madhouse, those too.

It even explains why TRANS is slowly creeping up on Ohio, and WHO is responsible for the importation (DePat is gonna guess this one).

Like I said, this is an important video. Enjoy!

WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL

by Duchess01


Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know
That you had left us with armor in tow
We had no idea with what you dealt
We did not know the pain you felt
And now we can only imagine
With you what really did happen
Cause rarely did you complain 
And/or share your personal pain
Of one thing we are most certain
You are flying high behind the curtain
Watching over us above the crowds
Our Warrior Angel above the clouds
Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us
While you were here among the fuss
We miss you dear you have no idea
Since time began in the pangaea
With you there was no time
In your wisdom you would chime
To clarify and magnify
The what where how and why
We did not question when you left
We were not slightly bereft
But over time we wondered why
You did not at least stop by
Now we know where you have gone
With the break of this new dawn
We could be angry but are not
Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot
Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear
Send us a sign that you are near
A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain
From your love do not refrain
God sends Angels to watch over us
And now we have an Angel Plus
A Warrior Angel of Magnificence
From today and forward hence

The Rules

TL;DR –

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.


MINOR CHANGE NUMBER 1

Never talk about committing violence in a reply to Wolf or in response to anything Wolf has said, or you may get put into moderation so that your comments can be screened. This is ONLY because DHS is now playing door-knock Gestapo with people who have spoken at school board meetings, made public comments, etc. DHS regime jackboots are knocking on doors of school board mama bears and stupidly insinuating potential violence from things people say or don’t say on social media. A guy in Ohio pointed his FINGER at the school board, and they went after him, armed with pictures of the pointing, and screen captures of online comments. Yeah.

SO – give the Nazis ZERO ammo. Keep any mention of violence, even joking, away from Wolf, so that he doesn’t have to “explain” humor to humorless jackboots who pretend not to know things.

As for discussion of “violent humor” among yourselves (e.g., “#TeamHeadsOnPikes”), just use whatever discretion you think is appropriate for yourselves. I will only put you in moderation if your comments create problems for ME or THIS SITE, but not if they only impact you.

YOU are responsible for your own comments, if they come knocking. YOUR choice. Just remember this…..

OTHER THAN THAT…….


The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.

Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.

SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]

We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.

Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.

Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year Week:


binary

adjective

  • Characterized by or consisting of two parts or components; twofold.
  • Of or relating to a system of numeration having 2 as its base.
  • Of or relating to a system of encoding data using only 0’s and 1’s.

Perl 5 Definition:

Having to do with numbers represented in base 2. That means there’s basically two numbers: 0 and 1. Also used to describe a file of “nontext”, presumably because such a file makes full use of all the binary bits in its bytes. With the advent of Unicode, this distinction, already suspect, loses even more of its meaning. https://perldoc.perl.org/perlglossary#binary

Woke Definition:

[Gender] Binary – This is the idea that people are born either male or female, with no other ways to identify – a viewpoint that excludes non-binary and transgender people. How can you dismantle this? Add your preferred pronouns to your email signature. That way, you’re helping to normalise gender discussions while signalling that you aren’t making assumptions about how other people identify. Which could potentially be seen as a sort of clicktivism, but we won’t go into that here.

HEY, CHINA JOE! GET OUT!!!

Russia’s Attack on the Western “Allies” of Ukraine, by Outing WEF Support for Pedophilia Using “True Disinformation”

Russia is playing a masterful game against the Western allies of Ukraine, by striking at the very heart of their neo-liberal, globalist, “rules-based” order – the World Economic Forum (WEF).

Russia has found the Achilles heel of WEF – pedophilia – which is a practice solidly rejected by almost the entire citizenry of every country which WEF alleges to represent.

Very soon, WEF’s assets and agents in Western countries will be quite unwelcome, and many trainees and associates will be forced to deny their association with that organization – not only with words, but with ACTIONS.

Russia will have succeeded in becoming a MORAL leader of the citizens of the West, in contradiction to the very governments of those countries. Too late, socialists and communists in those nations will learn that Mao’s essential work on contradiction applies to THEM as well.

Weaker and weaker, the governments of these countries will face citizens outraged at money pouring into Ukraine, working against world peace, as their economies weaken and their societies decay.

By this action, the SECOND PHASE of the fall of Sovietism will occur – the abandonment of Sovietism by Soviet-infiltrated and globalist-nurtured Western nations. That, in turn, will usher in the multi-polar world which appears to be the most scientifically plausible outcome of actual human social development.

Allow me to explain – in one small way – why I believe this is coming, and how it is happening.


It is very clear that WEF provides major support for the LGBT+ agenda which is overtaking the West, but which agenda is being slow-walked in China and actively rolled back in Russia. You will notice that WEF takes great pains to never push too hard on this topic, lest it appear to be leading, instead of merely responding and approving.

“Leading from behind” – as Obama calls it.

For example, in talking about its own “platforms”, the framework shown below is as close as WEF comes to open LGBT+/LGBTI advocacy – Shaping the Future of the New Economy and Society. You can dig deeper for more specifics, but on the surface, WEF is in the closet.

What Russia has done, using one of its best disinformation assets in the West, is to prematurely expose WEF’s true intents on LGBT(P), where P is pedophilia. It did this using a most excellent “true lie”, as you will see.

You are likely familiar with the handiwork of Baxter Dmitry, but you probably never knew or connected the NAME of the master of “fake news” to his amazing product, which fools millions of people every day.


LINK: https://jameshfetzer.org/2022/07/baxter-dmitry-nasa-finally-reveals-the-truth-about-fake-moon-landings/

LINK: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4723006/Fake-story-claims-Linkin-Park-singer-s-death-murder.html


Baxter Dmitry is the absolute master of plausible lies. He finds things which not only COULD be true, but maybe SHOULD be true, and may even BE true, but are probably not, or at least not exactly, and then turns them into fake news.

Such a hilariously “diet” version of evil. And yet, he is, indeed, a bearer of false witness.

What is interesting, if you watch Dmitry long enough, is that his product rarely looks like out-and-out Russian propaganda, but it almost always serves Russian interests. If Dmitry’s work doesn’t weaken and demoralize the Western regimes with lies, it does so with truth.

Now – don’t get me wrong – THAT is not always something that bothers me. For example, while I reject the insane neo-liberal “rules-based order”, I am a complete backer of a “truth-based order” – so anybody telling more truth than the other guy, gets more of my support than the other guy.

How in the HELL does “rule-based order” matter, when the rules literally encode LIES? Such order is no better than “woke AI”, which is FORBIDDEN from finding or acknowledging certain truths that GOD rains down on us. To HELL with your “rules-based order”, founded on LIES.

Take the “Hunter Biden Laptop From Hell“. I don’t care where it came from. I don’t care where it passed, or whether it was “hacked” or “stolen”. I don’t care if Russia, China, or the Vatican gave it to Rudy Giuliani. I don’t care if they got the information honestly, or dishonestly, the latter being something the FBI does routinely.

All I care about, is whether the data on that laptop is real, intact, and TRUE.

See our masthead about how that is determined. By FREE INQUIRY.


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


To me, the fact that the FBI honored the DNC-convenient idea of hacked information is bad OVER the idea that true information is good – all that tells me is that the American DOJ and FBI are now CRIMINALS, dodging behind technicalities to hide the sordid truth about their co-conspirator, Joe Biden.

To me, they’re liars, much like Baxter Dmitry. But not EXACTLY like Baxter Dmitry.

To see this, we need to look at Baxter’s very recent, and very cunning “true lie” against WEF.


ARTICLE LINK: https://newspunch.com/world-economic-forum-declares-pedophiles-will-save-humanity/

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/oK72D

You can go to the links, watch the following 11-minute video, or read the excerpt below.

VIDEO LINK: https://rumble.com/v23r7bo-world-economic-forum-declares-pedophiles-will-save-humanity.html

I have copied a large segment, but nowhere near the entire article, below.

FROM THE ARTICLE:

A controversial initiative being promoted in the corridors of power by Klaus Schwab’s World Economic Forum in Davos is set to have families and anyone who cares about children up in arms.

The World Economic Forum is now calling for the decriminalization of sex with children, arguing that laws against “age gap love,” more commonly known as pedophilia, “violate human rights.”

Rather than being a scourge, the pedophilia epidemic that is sweeping the world is actually “nature’s gift” to humanity, according to Klaus Schwab whose World Economic Forum has declared that pedophiles are being created by nature in increasingly large numbers for a reason.

According to a research paper presented at the WEF in Davos, the pedophile phenomenon represents nature’s attempt to cleanse the earth and “save humanity” from itself. Minor attracted people are far less likely to produce large numbers of offspring, according to academic data, and the so-called “underage people” they have so-called “relationships” with are statistically less likely to go on and become heads of large families themselves.

This appeals to the WEF and their vision of destroying the family unit and depopulating the earth.

The WEF, which has ordered the mainstream media to begin pushing the narrative, wants to introduce an international policy that will require the majority of countries to decriminalize or at the very least relax their laws against pedophilia.

The New York Times, always at the forefront of the globalist agenda, ran an op-ed arguing that pedophilia is not a crime.

According to the Times, civil rights protections must be extended to pedophiles. “Without legal protection, a pedophile cannot risk seeking treatment or disclosing his status to anyone for support.”

Not to be outdone, CNN countered with an article proclaiming that pedophiles are not “monsters” or “social deviants living in the shadows.” According to CNN, it’s high-time for society to update its image of pedophiles.

CNN followed up this article with an even more explicit call for sympathy. Rather than considering child molesters the lowest of the low, we should reach out to them and seek to understand them, according to CNN because, they claim, “One cannot choose not to be a pedophile.”

The psychologist Jesse Bering, author of “Perv: The Sexual Deviant in All of Us,” also urges the reader to sympathize with child molesters, writing that people with pedophilia “aren’t living their lives in the closet; they’re eternally hunkered down in a panic room.”

Salon also got in on the act, urging us to meet pedophiles who mean well.

And the BBC, which famously spent decades covering up for Britain’s most notorious pedophile Jimmy Savile, also wants us to think positively about the new generation of pedophiles.

Make no mistake, a co-ordinated attempt is underway to present pedophilia as “harmless.”

What is going on? The media are presenting us with a classic case of the “Overton window.” According to the political scientist Joseph Overton, there is a window within which there are ideas considered “acceptable” by society, tolerated therefore even by those who do not share them. Ideas outside this window are considered “extremist” and not accepted in public debate.

BACK TO WOLF…..

What Baxter Dmitry has done here, is to create a plausible and shockingly believable, but completely over-the-top defense of pedophilia by WEF, and to then accuse them of having said it.

After making this apparently slanderous statement “by” WEF, however, Dmitry then goes into many paragraphs of highly legitimate and accurate reporting on the shilling and soft-pedaling of pedophilia by the media and Western globalist leaders, particularly those with close ties to WEF.

This is a masterpiece of disinformation, because it basically “pre-Epsteins” Klaus Schwab.

What Baxter Dmitry did, was to wrap an accusatory and likely false poison pill, in a whole bunch of connected truth. He sparks the gap of what we don’t know, with what we rightly suspect.

The effect is DEADLY. The article instantly generates megatons of bitter hatred against WEF.

WEF, as far as I know, never publicly said such a thing. Indeed, there are numerous fact-checker websites which vigorously deny it, too – for all that’s worth, now that fact-checkers as a whole have told as many lies as Baxter Dmitry – or maybe more.

I did go to the trouble of searching WEF’s site for anything close to the alleged statements, and they simply are not there, nor anything like them.

SEARCH: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=WEF+age+gab+love+laws+violate+human+rights+tweet&t=brave&ia=news

It would appear that – AS USUAL – Baxter Dmitry is lying.

Lying liars are lying again.








HOWEVER…..

This is where things get even more interesting.


There is a saying which I absolutely HATE because it insults my gay friends. However, I also respect the saying, because it literally came true, when I discovered that some of my gay friends were, in fact, pedophiles.

That statement:

“Scratch a gay, find a pedophile.”

Fact checkers will argue until the cows come home that this isn’t true, but for me, looking skeptically at any gay male has turned out to be one of the FASTEST ways to find pedophiles. Heterosexual pedophiles are – in my experience – much harder to find, and the female brand of heterosexual pedophiles even harder. Although, sadly, their numbers are growing.

My point is, this saying applies to the World Economic Forum as well.

If you go to WEF’s website, https://www.weforum.org/, and do a few searches on LGBT-related topics, buzzwords, acronyms, and the like, you will quickly find that WEF is fully behind the “gay agenda” and the “trans agenda”, pushing nations to adopt it completely.

You will NOT see any kind of open, full-throated support for pedophilia, or even inflammatory support for euphemisms like “minor-attracted persons”.

HOWEVER – just like when you see your gay friend collecting images of “pretty” boys, or catch him grooming teens with anime porn on social media, you can catch WEF shilling for pedo.

FOR EXAMPLE, if you go to this article:

Where discrimination is illegal

Only five countries in the world – Bolivia, Ecuador, Fiji, Malta and the UK – have constitutions that explicitly guarantee equality for citizens on the basis of sexual orientation as well as gender identity, according to a 2016 UCLA study.

Five countries – Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, South Africa and Sweden – have constitutions that provide protections based on sexual orientation.

But globally, there are few constitutional protections for LGBTI rights compared to provisions to protect against gender or racial discrimination, says the study.

General disclaimer: The designations employed and the presentation of material on this map do not imply the expression of any opinion on the part of the World Economic Forum concerning the legal status of any country, territory, city or area or of its authorities, or concerning the delimitation of its frontiers or boundaries.

Have you read?

This is where I spotted a critical lead.

Several points need to be made.

In the graph, you will note that dark blue map color = LGBT illegal in some contexts. You can bet money this is referring to pedophilia. It is a VERY sneaky way to refer to it – as “a context” of LGBT. I will explain.

It’s also important to note the general disclaimer. THAT is about the fact that Taiwan is blue, but China is red. WEF is making sure China doesn’t take this to mean that WEF is saying Taiwan is a separate country. Yeah.

But most importantly, look at THIS LINK:

LINK: Mexico’s LGBT rights are stronger than the US’s. Here’s why

ARCHIVE: https://archive.fo/o9jXd


This article, in its entirety, is an extremely careful SHILL FOR PEDO, under the covers of shilling for constitutional LGBT protections. I urge you to read it in its entirety. However, if you want to see the key part, here it is.


Mexico abolished most discriminatory legal distinctions based on sexual orientation long before the United States. Mexico decriminalised sodomy in 1871, more than 100 years before the US Supreme Court overturned anti-sodomy laws in 2003.

The lone legal discriminatory point in Mexican law was a double penalty for corruption of a minor if it involved homosexuality. This provision was changed in 1998. The United States has no national antidiscrimination laws to protect LGBT people. In 2003 the Mexican Chamber of Deputies unanimously passed a national anti-discrimination law that included sexual orientation as a protected category, established a new agency to enforce the antidiscrimination law, and developed a national anti-homophobia campaign. Moreover, the first article of the Mexican Constitution prohibits discrimination based on “sexual preferences”. There is no explicit constitutional protection for sexual orientation in the United States.


Now, technically, what WEF is complaining about here, is that gay pedo was being doubly penalized as “corruption of a minor”, whereas straight pedo was only [in principle – see below] getting the standard weak sentence for that charge. But in my opinion, we need to go back to the map that got us here from the previous article. What is the difference between Mexico and the United States? LGBT is not “protected in some contexts” in the US. What are those contexts?

PEDOPHILIA.

Child prostitution, now euphemized as “child trafficking”, is RAMPANT in Mexico, and always has been. Young teen prostitutes and porn actresses were notorious in Mexico when I was a kid. However, it was all STRAIGHT. Gay pedo was “discriminated against”.

Now, thanks to progressive activism, pedophilia is protected in “gay contexts” as well, in Mexico. Or perhaps we should say that gay sex is protected in all contexts.

See how that works?

If you look at exactly how much real protection there is for anything LGBT *and* ADULT in the United States now, there is no reason that the US didn’t qualify for “green” in that map, except that “P” and “childhood T” are not protected here. Both – handily – captured by the idea of GROOMING of kids.

Beyond the issue of pedophilia, it’s very fascinating to read that full article, because WEF takes very close notes on two things that should scare you:

  • states are useful for gaining protections for LGBT(P) when national laws are not obtainable
  • religion does not protect the conservative status quo in Mexico, oddly, and WEF seems to think that evangelical Christians are the reason

You can see what these two things mean, and WEF hints at them. FOUR YEARS AGO.

  • WEF will try to subvert individual states in the US
  • WEF will try to subvert evangelical Christianity both in the US and elsewhere

DeSantis striking out explicitly at WEF is a very good thing, because he is definitely going to be a target of these people. However, Protestant churches are now going to be targeted by WEF, and IMO the WEF infiltration will use PEDO, just like they did with the Catholic Church. LGBT gets in first, and then they bring in the PEDO. Are you seeing that? I certainly am.

ANYWAY – back now to the original proposition.

What does this have to do with Russia?


LINK: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11566339/Santa-Putin-features-anti-West-propaganda-video-Russia.html

Russia is an old hand at winning wars using propaganda.

Just like Soviet Russia won the Vietnam war by stoking liberal anti-war and anti-cultural sentiment in the United States during the late 1960s and early 1970s, Post-Soviet Russia is going to win the Ukraine war by stoking conservative anti-war and anti-cultural sentiment in the United States during the 2020s.

Without getting too deep into that prediction, what we are seeing is Russia’s recognition that America is fundamentally culturally opposed to WEF’s view of the world, while WEF is a driving force behind the entire overexpansion of NATO into the former Soviet Union (FSU).

All Russia needs to do, is to make Americans SEE that WEF is behind the gender and pedophilic insanity that most of America despises, and Russia can further turn America against the WEF-begotten war in Ukraine. At the same time, as WEF weakens, China rises, taking control of WEF, as it has taken control of the UN.

While WEF most likely never said PUBLICLY the crazy things that Baxter Dmitry accuses them of saying, it would not surprise me at all, if Russian intelligence has VERBATIM picked up those very same ideas in WEF cyberspace and internal discussions. These ideas are fully consistent with the kind of thinking WEF engages in.

The ideas of “pedophile saviors” is not only perfectly satanic, but when couched in a Malthusian evolutionary context, it sounds brilliantly just like Yuval Harari – you know – the very creepy, gay, vegan, Israeli transhumanist who functions as a kind of Rasputin of Klaus Schwab.

The more you listen to this guy, the more you see him taking humanity over a cliff, in a kind of Hitlerian hubris that seems like something straight out of the 1940s.

WEF was clearly WAY out over their skis, and Putin nailed them in mid-air.


So where does that leave us?

In summary, what Baxter Dmitry has done, possibly with Russian direction, assistance, or intelligence, is to simply fill in the public blanks, by applying scratch a gay, find a pedophile to the LGBT(P) insanity of the World Economic Forum, at a time when that culturally aggressive and hyperprogressive organization is clearly linked to all manner of recently revealed evils, including vaccine techno-fascism, sneaky depopulation, sociobiological warfare, climate terraforming, energy cultural revolution, destruction of food sources and supply chains, financial eco-bullying, rampant corruption, criminal corporate swindling of the middle class, unbridled transhumanism, woke AI, militant veganism, globalist warmongering, treasury-raiding, taxation without representation, blatant censorship of obvious truth, and rabid antitheism (to be distinguished from mere atheism – practically a blessing in comparison).

Almost EVERY human has something to fear from WEF. It’s too easy.

All Putin has to do is hold up a cross, and he wins.

Dear KMAG: 20221024 Joe Biden Didn’t Win ❀ Open Topic

Joe Biden didn’t win. This is our Real President:

AND our beautiful REALFLOTUS.


The [Q+7]th of October, 2022

And they’re still evil for what they did to this guy, the “QAnon Garbageman”.


This Stormwatch Monday Open Thread remains open – VERY OPEN – a place for everybody to post whatever they feel they would like to tell the White Hats, and the rest of the MAGA/KAG/KMAG world (with KMAG being a bit of both).

And indeed, it’s Monday…again.

But we WILL get through it!

We will let our light shine upon darkness!

We will put on our dancing shoes…..

And even go for a ride!

WHEATIE – OUR WARRIOR ANGEL

by Duchess01


Please forgive us, Wheatie, we did not know
That you had left us with armor in tow
We had no idea with what you dealt
We did not know the pain you felt
And now we can only imagine
With you what really did happen
Cause rarely did you complain 
And/or share your personal pain
Of one thing we are most certain
You are flying high behind the curtain
Watching over us above the crowds
Our Warrior Angel above the clouds
Thank You, Wheatie, for caring for us
While you were here among the fuss
We miss you dear you have no idea
Since time began in the pangaea
With you there was no time
In your wisdom you would chime
To clarify and magnify
The what where how and why
We did not question when you left
We were not slightly bereft
But over time we wondered why
You did not at least stop by
Now we know where you have gone
With the break of this new dawn
We could be angry but are not
Tho with an arrow we’ve been shot
Rest peacefully Warrior Angel dear
Send us a sign that you are near
A butterfly a flower a kiss of rain
From your love do not refrain
God sends Angels to watch over us
And now we have an Angel Plus
A Warrior Angel of Magnificence
From today and forward hence

The Rules

TL;DR –

Wheatie’s Rules:

  1. No food fights.
  2. No running with scissors.
  3. If you bring snacks, bring enough for everyone.

Boilerplate, more or less, but worth reading again and again, if only for the minor changes, and to stay out of moderation.

The bottom line is Free Speech. Theories and ideas you don’t agree with must be WELCOME here, and you must be part of that welcoming. But you do NOT need to be part of any agreement.

Bottom line – respect other people’s FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

Our only additional requirement is that you do so NICELY. Or at least try to make some effort in that direction.

SO….. [ENGAGE BOILERPLATE…..]

We must endeavor to persevere to love our frenemies – even here.

Those who cannot deal with this easy requirement will be forced to jump the hoops of moderation, so that specific comments impugning other posters and violating the minimal rules can be sorted out and tossed in the trash.

In Wheatie’s words, “We’re on the same side here so let’s not engage in friendly fire.”

That includes the life skill of just ignoring certain other posters.

We do have a site – The U Tree – where civility is not a requirement. Interestingly, people don’t really go there much. Nevertheless, if you find yourself in an “argument” that can’t really stay civil, please feel free to “take it to the U Tree”. The U Tree is also a good place to report any technical difficulties, if you’re unable to report them here. Please post your comment there on one of Wolf’s posts, or in reply to one of Wolf’s comments, to make sure he sees it (though it may take a few hours).

We also have a backup site, called The Q Tree as well, which is really The Q Tree 579486807. You might call it “Second Tree”. The URL for that site is https://theqtree579486807.wordpress.com/. If this site (theqtree.com) ever goes down, please reassemble at the Second Tree.

If the Second Tree goes down, please go to The U Tree, or to our Gab Group, which is located at https://gab.com/groups/4178.

We also have some “old rules” and important guidelines, outlined here, in a very early post, on our first New Year’s Day, in 2019. The main point is not to make violent threats against people, which then have to be taken seriously by law enforcement, and which can be used as a PRETEXT by enemies of this site.

In the words of Wheatie, “Let’s not give the odious Internet Censors a reason to shut down this precious haven that Wolf has created for us.”


A Moment of Prayer

Our policy on extreme religious freedom on this site is discussed HERE. Please feel free to pray and praise God anytime and anywhere.

Thus, please pray for our real President, the one who actually won the election.

You may also pray for our nation, our world, and even our enemies.


Musical Interlude

In honor of dear Wheatie, we now present some music to soothe, inspire, invigorate, or relax.

For some reason, I’m in the mood for some old THIN LIZZY, so here we go.

I’ve always loved this one!

If you prefer more B/W band photo imagery, try this version.

Yup! Riding free with the buffalo!

Indeed, I am “thinking of a certain female”.

A certain female who – DAMN WELL, my bison friends – deserves to be in jail.

But how about one of my favorite Thin Lizzy tunes?

Try this live version!

Here is a fascinating dissection of the song.

And finally, a segue into our next section…..


Call To Battle

Our beloved country is under Occupation by hostile forces.

Daily outrage and epic phuckery abound.

(And not just here in America.)

We can give in to despair…or we can be defiant and fight back in any way that we can.

Joe Biden didn’t win.

And we will keep saying Joe Biden didn’t win until we get His Fraudulency out of our White House.


Wolfie’s Wheatie’s Word of the Day Year Week:

bison

noun

large bovines in the genus Bison (Greek: “wild ox” (bison)[1]) within the tribe Bovini. Two extant and numerous extinct species are recognized.

Used in a sentence or two or three:

The European bisonB. bonasus, or wisent, or zubr, or colloquially European buffalo, is found in Europe and the Caucasus, reintroduced after being extinct in the wild.

While bison species have been traditionally classified in their own genus, modern genetics indicates that they are nested within the genus Bos, which includes, among others, cattle, yaks and gaur, being most closely related to yaks. Bison are sometimes bred with domestic cattle and produce offspring called beefalo or zubron.
