How sad is it that I instantly knew exactly what episode of Seinfeld that picture of Newman is from? It's from the one when Kramer tries to opt out of receiving mail. The scene is a spoof of "Three Days of the Condor" where Newman is warning Kramer he can't trust any postal employees.
Regarding the wildfires, Ethical Skeptic has a series of tweets up discussing how the smoke smells like burning tires or plastic and doesn't smell anything like typical brush/forest fires. He thinks something else is going on, and speculates it's related to the recent huge jump in sea temperatures. It sounds out there but he's speculating it's some sort of volcanic action that is cooking underground oil. Frankly it's so bizarre sounding that it's making me question some of his other conclusions.
Last off, anyone else notice that Twitter is now making you log in to see tweets? If anyone has a workaround please post. I've never had a twitter account and am not about to start now.
Update:
From Elon's twitter:
This will be unlocked shortly. Per my earlier post, drastic & immediate action was necessary due to EXTREME levels of data scraping.
Almost every company doing AI, from startups to some of the biggest corporations on Earth, was scraping vast amounts of data.
It is rather galling to have to bring large numbers of servers online on an emergency basis just to facilitate some AI startupās outrageous valuation.
As I've said before, I finally pulled the plug on all 8 of our Alexa Echos a few months ago. 6 years ago I permanently deleted my FB account, after not using it for at least 3 years prior. I've dumped all other social media accounts - excepting Twitter - as well.
I also switched from an iPhone (I was an early adopter of iPhone and all things Apple as well as Twitter in 2008) to a non-internet phone (LightPhone II). The LightPhone froze up and went kaput about two weeks ago, and I won't replace it.
We dumped cable years ago, and about three years ago gave our large TV in the den to our eldest son, after realizing that there's something wrong with placing a television over our fireplace mantle, which simulates an altar. We do not want to give pride of place to the 5th gen warfare sewer pipe that emptied into our home.
I've recently been pining for dumping our internet service provider and the internet altogether. (Wouldn't it be great if we could somehow go back to a society without the internet and smart phones? Well why the heck not?)
There's some weird 5th gen warfare going on with our electronic devices. I call it the Matrix. I'm fighting against it.
I have never had a tv or cable or Twitter or any social media except Facebook. I only keep that to stay in touch with people who live far away from me and whom I donāt see often or ever. Also belong to some groups that are very worthwhile. I was a very late adopter of smartphones but itās become very hard to do without in my line of work. I do try to avoid as much as I can though and pay attention to my settings.
I have a Light Phone. It has a few quirks, but I like it. I use it just for phone calls and text messaging (to those who insist on texting), but it also has podcast capability, and I love that. I listen to quite a few podcasts. Everyone I know has an iPhone, but I won't get a smart phone because I want to pay attention to the world when I'm out and about. Can't stand how everyone has their heads bent down, looking at a piece of glass and plastic when there are people and a whole world around them.
Thank you for this reply, Natalie. You are preaching to the choir. I too really hate seeing all the bowed heads (and I include myself in that condemnation). I deeply, deeply resent my phone and how these devices have trapped us all. I am really trying to break free.
I just finished the book Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. It's very good, and you might find it helpful. Though I don't use a smartphone, I find myself on my desktop way too much. I think this book will help me break free of the addiction.
Yes, I tend to justify the use of my desktop as a necessary evil for doing my job. It's still a distraction and time suck and I would love to exercise some discipline over my casual use of it. Before the internet I used to read several books a week - I literally could not be found without a book in my purse or in my car which I would read when I had to wait anywhere or for anything. I even took books on my walks when my kids were portable (one in a front back, one in a back pack and a book in my hands). I have lost focus with increased internet use and electronic media consumption.
I couldn't agree with you more. I used to read a lot of books and listen to music. I homeschooled my kids before computers were very important and founded a homeschooling support group without benefit of the Internet--just on word of mouth and using the telephone. Now I look back and am so glad there was no Internet because I probably wouldn't have accomplished nearly as much. I don't do any social media and everything I look at is worthwhile--like Coffee and COVID!--but it's just too much. I spend too much of my day reading Substacks or listening to podcasts, and COVID really ramped that up. I have to start picking and choosing which online resources to use and spend more of my time doing activities that used to mean something to me, like reading, playing the piano, gardening, etc. I do still take books with me when I go out to a doctor's appointment or some place where I'll have to wait because I don't have a phone to occupy my time, so that's at least a plus.
Gads...the idiots at the gym! They canāt put their damn phones down, so theyāll do a set, sit on the machine and look at their phone for many minutes, then maybe do another set...
Yes, this video is extremely good; B&W makes it even more morose. When the documentary Social Network came out I saw it 3 times in 1 week. I couldn't believe what I thought I was seeing and had to make sure. lol! I never signed up for FB as it was created/stolen out of pure jealousy and greed.
If you like to learn the 'old-school' way by reading a hard copy book I recommend: Nicholas Carr's The Shallows - What The Internet is Doing to Our Brains (2011).
For the effect of technology (our cell phones!) on our cells: Resonance - Beings of Frequency is my favorite:
I'm with you on the "dumb"phone--that's what I've called them from the start because people are surely getting "dumber" and "dumber" by grasping onto that "small screen" 24/7. I swear as time goes by--people will be PERMANENTLY connected to their "device".
And that is how they'll sell the implanted chips or AR Goggles--"Remember how silly we were (shots of bowed heads, tangled earphone cords, dropped airpods, people trying to do things but can't b/c they lack a free hand b/c it's got a cellphone in it), what a hassle it all was? Finally--(shots of vapid smiling people, hugging, shopping, nurturing their children, swiping their hands over scanners at Whole Foods) true freedom, true connectedness is available! (shots of little glowing pulse between thumb and index finger, or back of neck, or top of head). Don't be a Luddite (shot of person tangled in wire, ALONE)--get neuralink!"
I wanted to like it. But honestly, the LCD screen makes it damn near impossible to type. You can do the voice-to-text feature, but you have to keep your texts super short to be able to go back and correct the errors (which are many.)
My sister-in-law gave us one of those Amazon/Google things. I told him absolutely not. He thought I was crazy, but, about a year later, all of that stuff came out about them listening in. We still have it unplugged, uncharged, in its box, somewhere in the house. Iād be happy to dump it.
Siriās good for turning my iPhone light on and off. She also does quite well with pulling up websites with the information I need. Iāve decided not to fear AI any longer, but to learn to use it for spreading the gospel.
God gave it to us. It can do immense good. If the evil beings decide to come after meā¦well, Iāll cross that bridge with Jesus when I come to it.
Interesting take. I say that about all technologiesāthey can be good or bad depending on how you use them. Like fireāit can warm you and cook your food, or it can burn your house down or kill you.
And it depends on choices for how to use them. If I didnāt hear reports, I would have no idea about evil things on the internet. Just like in real life, I donāt go to those places.
In general I agree but I believe there are areas forbidden to man like technology creating man/animal hybrids, manipulating genetic material that āenhance human functionā (Canāt be done but they still try) cloning human beings, building a Tower to reach Heaven, etc. Itās like man wants to be God even from the beginning.
I totally agree with you there. I think trying to genetically modify what God has made can be very evil.
But I think if bad genes could be replaced with good ones to heal conditions, that might be viewed as very beneficial to mankind. Iām thinking of one, not handicapping, just disfiguring that Iāve had since preadolescence. One bad, bad gene. That I unfortunately passed on to some of my children and grandchildren and it really makes me sad.
I donāt give it a thought. If the feds decided they wanted me, they could take me. If they want to persecute or prosecute me for living my life as a free child of God and thatās in Godās plan for me, itāll happen.
In the meantime I know at least half the human population must have cell phones now. And I know thereās some massive storage places collecting all our texts and calls. And I picture that scene at the end of Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark, where the Ark is stored, swallowed up in this massive warehouse. And you just think, well, thatās never gonna see the light of day again.
And given the level of proven incompetence in our government, I wonder if they really can manage such a universe of communications. Or are they exaggerating to frighten us into complacency? Iām sure they can do some specific targeting, but can they really watch us all all the time?
I think thatās what Iām realizing. My old geezer friends love their political groups and somebody is always trying to get me to go to meetings. Finally someone I canāt say no to asked me and I went to one. And itās a marvelous socializing and small scale networking activity, but I canāt see it saving the nation.
I tell them Iām a keypad warrior. They do their part, but I feel called to influence a bigger field.
I think itās all about you and what you personally do on line. The internet canāt reach out and pull me into anything. I know my Masterās voice and Iām heaven-bent on following it.
You are made of stern stuff, WS. I know that for me, I can end up wasting too much precious time perseverating on things over which I have absolutely no control. Twitter too often becomes a "near occasion of sin" for me tempting me to indulge in my anger. My husband gave up all internet for Lent and hasn't gone back (and he was already quite limited in his use getting most of his news from The Babylon Bee :)). All I know is I was happier and more productive before I began consuming events through Twitter. I honestly can't point to any person in my life who uses social media or the internet in ways that aren't problematic (I particularly reset the ways my children are affected and we held out long past most in even giving them access - but once granted, it is like a black hole).
I have said so many times, I am so glad Iām not having to raise my children in this age of social media.
For my grandchildren, they did not and will not get cell phones until theyāre in high school. None of this 10 year old with a phone stuff. They all try āall my friends have a phoneā and āwhat if I have an emergency?ā Well, if all your friends have phones and thereās an emergency ask to borrow one.
Mostly theyāve had to get jobs and buy their own.
I know thatās tough, but youāre the boss. You make the rules. If you want to take possession of the phones from say 10:00 p.m. till 7:00 a,m. do it.
All true, WS. In our house we did not give cell phones to kids until they were 16. With kid #5 he was literally the only student in his grade without a cell phone (other students were going to chip in an buy him a phone). Plus, we have pretty strict control over his use but even when it is in his possession, it is total immersion. And, sad to say, my older kids who are in their twenties, aren't much better. It takes enormous self-discipline the likes of which I don't think many people possess.
I agree, but it can be a greater or lesser struggle depending on the person. I find it easy to dive into reading or watching stuff and lose track of time, and it's taken me quite a while to build discipline over it (and still not perfect!). I know others who can't resist arguing all night when "someone is wrong on the internet"; and of course, knowing that p*rn can be found easily is a temptation for some too... or instant gratification of online shopping.
On the other hand, I find a lot of positives out of it, educationally for example - lots of great videos explaining technology, theology, economics etc - or in connecting with like-minded people such as here on C&C. So as I said, I agree, but as with all things in life it's a matter for wisdom and self-control.
I know. Iām well into senior hood and hope Iām older and wiser. The things of this world donāt matter to me that much anymore. When I was younger, I made many bad choices.
And Iām so glad Iām not raising kids now. It was hard enough back in the day.
But I know this to be true from personal experience:
Corinthians 10:13. No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
I have stories about a faithful God, who has the answer to everything.
I unplugged Alexa when it started playing music while I was silently working from home. Siri responded to something I was telling my husband without being prompted to. After going back and saying the sentence again, there was nothing in what I said that came remotely close to āHey Siri.ā They are always listening, which is creepy.
Only experience Iāve had like that; I was reading a news headline out loud and it was something about Syria. I said, āSure, Siri, I have to ask you three times to turn on my iPhone light, but you just jump right in when I say the word Syria?ā šš¤£š
I was totally creeped out when visiting daughter's family in southern England in Nov, and 5 year old kept using Alexa to talk to me from the first floor.
I never read anything on Twitter unless Iām directed there by a good source like JC. Otherwise itās very easy for me to just ignore. No temptation whatsoever to play with it. For me It is a tool to see these particular tweets and thatās all it is. We are in control of our eyes, ears and mouths.
Same, me too. I only follow a handful of conservatives and I donāt bother reading any thing else, like comments. I like having a Twitter account. I donāt tweet myself or get involved other than to heart for support.
I think the Twitter link problem for non twitter subscibers may have to do somewhat with the massive interest in the Tucker on Twitter postings. If you want to listen, youāll have to subscribe. Same problem today with Telegram twitter links.
Tucker is instantly reposted on rumble and elsewhere every time he uploaods a vid, so it's not going to work except on those who don't know where else to look...
It's not like facebook; so you can use an alias 'Datagal' perhaps, and for birth date I like to use 1/1/(real birth year). Easy to remember and stay consistent.
I have an account. My handle is something like āf^ck Joe Bidenā. Itās my second account. I closed one years ago. At that time I sort of knew how the platform worked. Closed the account when they started censoring right views.
Then something convinced me after the 2020 steal that I needed an account again. I never post or retweet, Iāve forgotten how to use it. Thatās fine. All I want is to be able to see tweets that are posted. I really havenāt suffered any ill effects.
I've reopened a FB account too. Don't plan to use it for much but it gives me access to a few groups that I want to keep up with. I figure if I don't get in the habit of using them then they will be easily deleted from my life if I decide to do so in the future.
I also have FB; check in occasionally to see what nice little trips my large family has been on. Very seldom do I even post anything. I hardly have time for it anymore.
I had gone through the ādone with Fakebookā maneuver several years back. I got a new account, when one day I was talking to my sister and she said, āMollycakes (not my daughterās real name) was really nervous about Rufus (not my oldest grandchildās first name) was having his first flying lesson.ā
And I said, āWhat!!! How do you know that? And she said, āI saw it on Facebook.ā Needless say, I made a new account immediately. My sister doesnāt get to tell me about big happenings in my family š£
Naomi Wolf has a great description of the toxic air in Manhattan back when NYC had its āorange-out.ā She said the smell and her reaction to it reminded her more of the poisonous air on 9/12 than just wildfire smoke.
Regarding Twitter, I also agree. It keeps making me try to login whereas I didnāt have to do that before to see a clip. Donāt want a Twitter account. Not signing up for a Twitter account. But I would like to see the clips. I went out on YouTube and found the Dana Carvey clip. šš
All y'all without Twitter accounts are missing out! Though I don't fully trust Elon, Twitter-- which used to be an awful, blue-only echo chamber-- is great now that he took over.
I donāt really know as I only use it to read tweets posted on trusted sites. I told my grandchildren the internet is like the whole world is just opened up before you. And just like you know physically there are places you should not be, same with the internet. Ask Jesus. Heāll tell you whether or not you should go there.
"Regarding the wildfires, Ethical Skeptic has a series of tweets up discussing how the smoke smells like burning tires or plastic and doesn't smell anything like typical brush/forest fires."
This may explain the white flakes my son and I observed in the air when we were in the Detroit area a few weeks ago.
FYI... Forest fires can and do produce ash, white flakes to be exact... When we got slammed by 2 hurricanes in 2004 there were so many trees down the county hauled them out to a large private tract of land 6 miles from city center and set them ablaze....HUGE PILES OF TREES. Problem was, the area was not "out in the country" but rather countryside surrounded by communities. White ash and heavy smoke blanketed our area. It was a nightmare! Hot, humid weather...and SMOKE so thick in some places you couldn't see through it. It was a great teaching moment for our inept democrat run city and county commissioners.... ((Diversity) elected)š«¢š... And yet, we're still electing the same kinds of fools...progressive commies. Life in a University town.
When I was little I was swimming at the beach and ashes came floating down on me (they were burning a field after harvest). I didn't know what it was. My sister said "it is from the crematorium. They are burning bodies" I nearly drowned. I screamed like there was a shark attacking me. I was an irrational child.
Yup, white flakes are very common here in Southern California during brush fires, it's not unusual to see them a hundred miles or more distant from big fires. People know to was them off the car quickly as they can eat at the paint.
Having lived through literally dozens of brush fires though, they never smell synthetic but always like burning wood in a campfire. There is something funny going on if it smells like burning tires.
All the young women from Canada on a FB group I am on, said it smells like chemicals and they and others in the US are upset because they have babies and children and no one is issuing warnings or advising on ways to protect themselves from the toxic air.
Hubs was the regional director for state emergency management in Houston during Katrina, Rita and Ike. OMG!! It's not just the citizens, but the politicians! Mayor Bill White was responsible for that tragic evacuation when Katrina was on It's way. He got on TV and said EVERYONE LEAVE NOW!!! Orderly evacs were working well. He also invited all the refugees from New Orleans to come to Houston, then tried to "order" my husband to completely shut down I-20
and turnback the buses at the state line. What a dumba$$!!
Air quality here in Maryland was terrible yesterday. I was floating down a local creek and noticed ash flakes settling down on the water. I think thereās WAY more to those wildfires than weāre being told.
Has anyone seen pictures/video of said fires? Youād think that theyād be all over the place, I havenāt seen one...maybe Iām not looking hard enough BUT when CA has fires I see them all over my feeds. Just saying...
1. I heard there are fires on land bought by China?
2. Young women living in Canada on a FB group I belong to said that there has been torrential rain for 3 days (as of yesterday) so they were perplexed.
Well, you can blame Twitter on me. I've been praying for weeks (even months) for G-d's assistance in getting me to reduce the time I waste viewing Twitter feeds. I don't have a Twitter account and am not going to start one just to see timelines, so I'm chalking this up to Divine Intervention. Thank you, Jesus!
Never wanting to feed the beast, did not want to comment, never had an account. I did click on when someone linked to a particular twitter post of interest. Twitter has become a public commons, of a sort. But I prefer to be highly selective about where I actually "join", such a C&C. The very large, social engineering sites, like twitter, are particularly unappealing.
I'll hold out. Hope more people, who are accustomed to sharing twitter links, will adjust by copying the twitter comment, or summarizing the gist. Or I'll make do with what I can learn elsewhere, dropping out of those twitter conversations altogether, even as a "listener" only. That will probably save me a good piece of time for off-internet reading.
If I look at tweets through Google chrome, I have no problem looking at them without signing in. If I go through DuckDuckGo, I can't see anything unless I sign in.
Off topic, but was wondering if anyone could provide a link for the Defender article referenced in one of the first stories in this post? I can't even find a website called the Defender except for some woke Catholic college. I searched using terms like "Defender," 'The Defender," " The Defender COVID," "The Defender COVID Danish study European journal of inquiry" or whatever the name of the journal is and got zero results. Apparently there's a movie called " The Defender" because I got lots of results about that.
I tried google chrome for a link...didn't work. I think once you clear your cache and reset things or if you reboot your computer, you will eventually lose access to twitter unless you have an account.
I read posts on Twitchy.com and have always been able to click on the tweets to read the full tweet if needed. Guess I'll have to give up twitchy! I'm getting used to walking away from all sorts of things these days.
Yeah, truth social or telegram is all I have now. Used to be a rabid Facebook guy until they suppressed everything. Tried Twitter for a few months, until recently. Elon has to crack down on the porno ads that bots send out. Tons of other depravity. Just got sick of it even though it was useful to try to educate the masses, but to be seen you need to pay a monthly fee.
I quit playing on Facebook when they shut down Trump. They were already censoring me, but that was the final straw. Same with Twitter and Instagram. I got on Parler but then they shut that down. I finally just gave up. I have to say, I think it's been good for my mental health! Even if there was a place I could go where it wasn't watched by the government and people thought the way I do, there's danger in that group think rut. Being of social media allows me to think clearly and consider different angles that I probably wouldn't have considered it I lived in an echo chamber. I have to be careful even on sites like SubStack. When breaking news happens and I get the leftist sound bite, I like to think about it and ask myself questions. Then I go read what someone I trust has to say. Then I ask more questions!
I love and appreciate the Dana Carvey/David Spade video but where were these guys in 2021? Too many people appear now to be joining the fashionable "I was for it before I was against it" cavalcade. It reminds me of the people in 2004-05 who suddenly were "always against the Iraq War" when things didn't turn out quite the way Bush and the neocons promised.
Additionally, the Erica Marsh account is fake, apparently. As someone pointed out on gato's page:
"Update: "Erica Marsh"s profile pic seems to have been lifted from a German consulting website, which is no longer live on the web.
If you needed any further info that this account is fake... ."
JP Sears has been mocking this from the very beginning. HE was actually brave and principled all along. I do like Dana Carvey and David Spade but also wonder what took them so long?
I credit Tucker Carlson for opening the door to all of these people and having the cojones to speak truth to power. I was introduced to Alex Berenson on Tucker's show in early 2020 when people were going nuts, the already strong smell of B.S. was in the air, and rational thinking was at a minimum.
JP Sears is one of those people, like the aforementioned Tucker, Mr. Childers, Esq., Alex Berenson, el gato malo, Naomi Woif, Steve Kirsch, Riley "Edward Slavsquat" Waggaman, and so many others, who were both clear-minded and brave and offered a lifeline of sanity. As those around us became nuttier and nuttier and we started cutting ties, my wife and I often consoled each other by asking whether we would rather be aligned with people like JP, Mr. Childers, and Tucker, or Team Joe Biden.
JCM, it *is* exasperating, but there are so ominously MANY who are still totally hypnotised that I am thrilled and relieved at any and all joining the ranks of disbelievers ~
I'm with you there. I'm always grateful for anyone who ultimately sees the light and I've always liked Dana Carvey and David Spade. In the final analysis, it's progress.
Weāll see more and more celebrities and politicians doing exactly what Carvey and Spade just did. Itās safe to talk/joke about vaxxines now, you wonāt be canceled! Cāmon and show us how brave and principled you are!
Agree. They were given permission to "laugh" at the entire episode. I also don't believe this placebo data. It is also part of the psyops. Most vaxxed who haven't had any serious incidents yet will just latch on to the statement regarding placebos. See. I am fine. Placebo. Let's move on and change the subject or narrative.
"Most vaxxed who haven't had any serious incidents yet will just latch on to the statement regarding placebos."
I think you're right. I know a couple of people - my sister, for example - who fear that they are ticking time bombs. Most appear to have rationalized their decision and have chosen to move on as though nothing happened.
A friend of mine from high school got the shot and immediately developed MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) and it's so severe she can't be more than 15 minutes away from a hospital lest she have an allergic reaction that an epi pen won't help. I shared the Epoch Times interview of Sasha Latypova with her and she wrote me back singing the praises of VAERS and how she's talked to people with VAERS on three occasions. I pointed out that the research indicates different potencies of vaccines were given and she said "I'll have to dig into that article a little more." She didn't even read it. I'd like to send her the Defender article referenced at the beginning of this article but couldn't find it. I'm just going to keep sending her this stuff.
I've had experience with VAERS. The DPT shot killed my firstborn over 30 years ago. I sued the DHHS and won my case. My son is not in VAERS database. VAERS is a farce.
It was, but I have to say it made me militantly anti-vaxx, to the point where none of my other children received vaccines while they lived in my home. One of my kids joined the military and submitted to the jab and I just pray for protection and good health. And suggest taking nattokinase. But no one else in my extended family received the clot shot, and for that, I'm extremely grateful. I've been angry for 30 years. I was so trusting when I took him to that appointment. I read the literature so I knew that there was a "chance" that something could happen, but you never think you'll be a statistic. I learned the hard way that that is a silly assumption to make! I've been berated by doctors for refusing to vaccinate my children. I've been ridiculed and ostracized by friends. This added to my anger. Then the pandemic hit and all I can say is, I believe my child's death prepared me for such a time as this. Suddenly, I'm not angry anymore (about his death; I'm still angry that people have been lied to so blatantly for so long). I would never have chosen to go this route, but it's the route God chose for me and I really have peace about it now.
You remind me of this from Clarissa Pinkola Estes, the Catholic Jungian trauma therapist:
"You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement.
I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able vessels in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind.
Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a greater forest. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.
Just beautiful! Hereās an example of the good of technology. I have a very fragile friend, who has suffered some traumas and she keeps herself sick with undeserved guilt. I thought she needs this word and with a few keystrokes I got it to her.
It gave me chills to read that! Yes! This is the hope and encouragement we need. We were made for these times and must have them boldly, with courage. It is uplifting to see all those other boats; we are not alone.
Well then! This is surely a screwed up world filled with sorrow and the gnashing of teeth! I never thought I would be 'living' in a world hell bent of the destruction of the most of human kind. And I never thought to see the day when the United States would be the lead dog in an Evil Campaign all-encompassing as great as any Evil recorded in Christian Scripture. And I think there are relatively few people who read your words here today who aren't saying to themselves in one form or another, "Hey! That's me too! That's how I feel now!"
And I don't see getting through this Time of Trials and Tribulation without God ... and knowing that whatever is thrown at us, I'll be alright because my dependence is not of this world but with the Sovereign One Christian God.
This crap is not going to go away by itself. We will have to fight, and fight and fight against the Evil. And Nigel Farage and de-banking? This is today's newest example of Evil Incarnate thrown into our faces. Basically, Consent to Evil and forget about leaving the City of Destruction. Forget that Wicker Gate and Straight and Narrow stuff. In short, 'they' are telling us to abandon Faith in God ... and oh! It's so much easier just to comply. And this makes me angry. Very angry. And oddly I hear Screech Owls shrill voice crying out, "How dare you". The difference though is that the indignation is not scripted.
To be discounted must be the worst thing. I cant imagine also how the parents of babies fine one day and autustic the next must feel.
I am assuming that the medical profession feels they must discount for 'the greater good'. However, that is unethical.
I never knew about the DTP. I saw my immunization card from 1957 and I got it.
Today it is DTAP I believe, and it is just as bad, if not worse, I read. Thank God for social media. I told my daughter to not get any for my grandaughter. Every once in a while she seems on the fence despite a pediatrician who asks but doesn't push.
Thank God for friends of theirs with an autistic child who told her and her husband " don't get ANY of them". (sometimes we listen to our peers over our parents).
I think the big problem with vaccines is that it is one of those many things where if you do what everyone else is doing, you feel as if you are somehow a šÆ%
'assimilated' American. We were once quite homogeneous as a culture and human nature and psychology still craves that cultural norm.
I've heard the "greater good" argument as nauseum. It wasn't good for my son. I'm that respect, I don't care about the greater good and neither would any loving, rational parent.
I listened to RFK Jr talk about how the vaccine manufacturers went to Reagan and got their immunity because they were losing money. Reagan told them to make safe vaccines and they told him vaccines are necessarily unsafe. They included that language in the Vaccine Injury Act for justification in shielding vaccine manufacturers from liability. So they're making necessarily unsafe products and then they don't properly test them. And our children are mandated to take them. No, thank you. It was never about the greater good. There are some really evil people holding the reins of power.
I also have to apologize because I have friends whose son was severely injured by vaccines (he's in his 20's now and needs constant care.) I used to watch his poor father supporting him as they walked down the aisle to Holy Communion, the son struggling mightily and his dad trying to help him.
Although I didn't say anything to anyone at the time, I secretly believed they were mistaken and paranoid about the vax being the cause of his injury. I deeply regret that.
Today I know that the pharma companies are the cause of untold millions of deaths and injuries of unsuspecting parents. Mea culpa
You had no way of knowing. We were born and raised in the freest, best country the world has ever known. It was founded by men who recognized that our rights come from God, not government; that the purpose of government is to secure those rights for us so that we can make the most of our existence. A country like that is amazing. We were amazing. We didn't know that our government broke that contract with us. We didn't ask them to; they had no right and they knew it, so they were sneaky about it. I didn't know about it until my son died. And honestly, even with what I knew about the vaccines, I didn't connect it to any other aspect of life here in the US until very recently. So I've known for a while what many of the issues are with vaccines. But I supported the war in Iraq. I believe that they had WMDs. I believed Oklahoma City was caused by domestic terrorists. I've believed lots of things where I was convinced this country was doing the right thing when I'm fact, the opposite was true. Since the pandemic, I've had my eyes opened about a lot of things. It also has helped to read books like "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers and "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to realize that I have been utterly clueless about what's going on.
I guess my point is, you had no reason to believe otherwise. Your own experience probably told you that vaccines were safe and effective - they stopped diseases from spreading and your kids were fine. You've gotten a different perspective of the same picture so now some of your beliefs have changed. That's a good thing! The travesty would be to see the picture from your new vantage point and still cling to your old beliefs.
The greater good is an unethical and immoral rational for ALL evil. Did any one in the medical field ever sympathize, empathize or apologize for your pain regarding the innoculation?
Again, I am so sorry for your pain and your loss. š
My experience with the medical community has not been great. There was a pediatric neurologist who testified at my son's trial and he was a beam of light in the darkness. My kids briefly had a pediatrician who didn't push, but she retired when they were very small. I took one of my children to see a doctor once because his neck had swollen up so that it was as wide as his face. He had a cough, too. The doctor told me my son had pertussis because I didn't vaccinate him, that there was nothing that he could do for my son, but that he was giving me a prescription for antibiotics to give him because it would protect other children from him! š Pertussis has a very distinct sound. I guess he thought I was such an ignoramus ,I wouldn't know. I stopped talking my children to the doctor unless they were badly injured or very, very sick. For the most part, the medical community was awful.
Having said that, let me say that now, I've seen a bit of a shift among medical professionals. I had to get my blood drawn recently and the nurse confided to me that she was forced to get the shot or lose her job and she's worried what will happen if all the medical professionals get sick now: who will run the hospitals and provide care for the ill and infirm? She's not the only one who has made such comments to me. So this has opened some eyes and minds. I'm learning to count my blessings when and where I find them.
Thatās for sure. We definitely need a reset, but not the one THEYāre talking about. When God does does the real reset, THEY may not like it too much.
Thatās so awesome to hear. I lost my first to a heart defect from being exposed to the chemical āSevinā. I applaud you for not being Angry. I was never angry very long because I was young. I pray so much for the families I hear about everyday that lost a child. God Bless you! I pray that God keeps paving a clear path for you and your family!!
Your story brought tears, but final sentence did me in....
the journeys that God walks us through in this life can be heart wrenching, and yet -in ways that only He can do - grace and peace show up in abundance. Amazing!
Oh my goodness. How awful - I am sorry. So sad that this shot is still being given in Africa, thanks to Bill Gates. At least that is what RFK Jr said on his Rogan podcast interview.
Iāve been reading for decades about how Africa has been used as this huge testing ground for Gateās experimental vaccines under the guise of ādoing goodā.SPIT!
Interestingly Africa seems to be one of the last places on earth maintaining sanity. Theyāve seen the evil first hand and want to fight it.
So sorry to hear about what you went through. I believe we are reaching a tipping point where somethingās gotta change. Hopefully, with the help of the lawyers working together we can bring the liability back. This will automatically help to correct the issue due to free market forces.
Sadly, this seems to be the case with so many issues. People get mad, and then they just file it away, shrug, and go back to default setting of ignorance is bliss. In MO we have property taxes, sadly, and they fund about 60% of school budgets statewide, 65% in my county. State law requires reassessment every 2 years. In 2019, the county exec and his team massively hiked values in a reassessment that saw a lot of (red) areas with huge increases, some 100% or more, 22K appeals, delays in statutory deadlines, and even headlines in the liberal local press about prominent D's getting low values, while many others getting screwed. Some had to sell as they could no longer afford their taxes. In 2021 they sandbagged values heading into the 2022 election year (all county offices run every 4 years). Voters totally forgot 2019 and re-elected the County Executive & his minions on the legislature for another 4 years, despite an army of us knocking doors for fiscal conservatives and warning of a tax Armageddon coming in 2023. Out of 9 legislature seats and one County exec, 2 Republicans won. 2023 is here. My value went up 60%, and that is nothing compared to others. My social media feed is filled with nothing but property tax woes posts. Meetings on how to appeal are filled to overflowing (and elected officials notably absent except for 1 of the R's). County estimates 60,000 appeals. One saving grace is the Hancock Amendment that limits taxing jurisdictions windfalls to 5% a year, so levy rates will have to be adjusted, but there are loopholes. People will lose their homes. State bills attempting to reform the system are killed by lobbyists for the teachers union, association cities and counties, and every other taxing jurisdiction lobby. Our city noted in their budget meeting for FY 24 that they have budgeted funds for MORE lobbyists. Interesting. And yet, county elections don't happen again until 2026. Will voters remember???
We had a huge army of volunteers for the 2022 school board elections, people were mad as h*ll about the board behavior during covid, and we got 2 conservatives elected for 2 seats. Three seats were open this Spring, and there were half the number of volunteers. Called, emailed, texted, begged....lots of excuses, but basically, the fire/anger had gone out. The left PAID their door-knockers. Out of town $$. We got one of 3 open seats.
Getting ready for 2024. Have to keep trying, what choice do we have?
This is the problem with succeeding in reducing the criticality of a problem - people aren't as worried, so other things resume their priority in people's lives. Unfortunately, the Left never stops, like we do. School Board seats are okay as a temporizing measure, but they don't change who the teachers are or who run the teacher's colleges, or the regular colleges, or the K-12 system, or what's shown in movies or told as 'news.' The real answer is to get school choice in each state, so people can opt out of the government school system and implode it through lack of students and funds.
I agree about the school board, but then again it is our tax dollars. Getting ready for a levy rate fight, I have learned that the budget for just our district alone has grown $128M in the last 10 years, a 46% increase, while ENROLLMENT HAS BEEN FLAT. (Due to more parents pulling their kids for home school or private - our population has grown 13% in that same time.) And a neighboring school district, with a majority conservative board has stopped at least some of the wokery in its tracks. In a district of 17K students, even if half of them bailed, there is no capacity for them currently if the state manages to pass school choice next year. We currently have a limited choice system, that helps some students but the fight continues. Privates all have big wait lists right now. And our city has limited available open land for development, and it doesn't come cheap, (unless you are an apartment developer and then its tax breaks and red carpet, sadly) so growing the 'choice' part is going to take years to build out capacity.
There are many more ways to educate children than the few you mention, and new private schools would pop up if families had the funds to pay for them. They can take over existing buildings, which do not have to have been built to be schools. It's the free market at work. Micro-schools are one exciting alternative, since they benefit the teachers as much as the students and families. In this model, say 10 families pool their school choice funds to pay a teacher to teach their 10 children. In Florida, that would amount to $80,000. The 'school' could be in a home of a family or the teacher, or rotate between them. Your budget has ballooned because of government; that's what government budgets and bureaucracies do.
True, mine are grown, so haven't dug into options as much as those with school age kids. Do have friends who are in a home school co-ops run in a couple of local churches, one has 300 kids. MO has fairly lax homeschool regs, but think the teacher pooling you describe is technically not legal, although heard of some creative end-arounds in the shutdowns of 2020 ad 2021 years. I am involved because so goes the schools, so goes the community. Twenty years ago, our school district was the heart of our community. Highly engaged parents, lots of volunteers from the community, support from local businesses, and high academic standards. Home values are higher than districts with failing schools, a lot higher. But politically, lots of inertia and few conservatives paying attention as leftists, who have mastered the long game, infiltrated committees, city council, school boards, etc. I ran for council trying to sound the alarm and lost in 2018. 10% turnout. Two disastrous superintendent hires in a row right after my youngest graduated a decade ago. Race baiting, focus on equity and ignoring discipline issues. Lots of apartments being built, admin looking the other way as students from surrounding failing districts coming in with sketchy residence documents, especially if they are good at sports. Test scores dropping, violence making headlines, and some are bailing for the exurbs. Can't convince hubby to move, so guess we are staying and fighting.
If micro-schools are unlawful currently, work to change the law. You said "so go the schools, so goes the community," and that's exactly why the Left started their highly successful "long march through the institutions" so many years ago. Keeping them as government schools simply keeps them as a fat target. No one can control thousands of parents making private decisions about education, in thousands of forms and venues. It's not just lower grades, either. I have in the past and my husband will be in the upcoming year teaching a group of high school homeschoolers in history, literature, religious doctrine and theology, and logic. When our son was in first grade, neither of us could be home full time, so I taught him on evenings and weekends and my husband did during the times he was neither in class nor teaching. The homeschooling families where I live are mostly single income (and not a very big income - it's a rural area) traditional families, who decided that their children's moral lives and educations were worth whatever it took to keep them out of government schools.
Just asking. Do people actually open their doors to door knockers anymore? I canāt really believe the left is getting ahead that way. That they hire people, who will fake things, that I can believe.
But from my viewpoint, in cities anyway, people are not opening their doors to strangers or they live in areas where knocking on someoneās door might get you shot.
I saw this article on how we have to get smarter. It wouldnāt take an army of people out in the heat and hazards of this world.
Well yes, we had the case of the teenager supposedly shot just for knocking on an old man's door in KC but I am sure that we have NOT gotten the full story on that one. But yes, people still answer the door. Knocked thousands in the last 5 years, it's great exercise! Maybe as I am a middle aged frumpy white woman who does not look sketchy? I dunno, but it is a numbers game, average about 1 in 4 doors answered if you hit at the right time of day. 4-7 PM and Sunday afternoons are best, except in neighborhoods with a lot of seniors, and then mornings are good. Scribble a handwritten note and leave flyers if no answer. We won in 2022 largely in part due to lots and lots of doors knocked. Hit every pancake breakfast, Chamber/Rotary/VFW lunch or coffee, people hosted meet and greets in their homes and invited neighbors. Money is not there for a major media campaigns, on either side, frankly, we are a suburb of KC and advertising in the wider market like TV and radio is $$$. Social media is fractured and trolls are thick, few under age 50 take the local paper which is a shoestring operation with 6-8 pages once a week. Yard signs and banners were everywhere. Formed a PAC and had volunteers handing out multi-candidate flyers on the back to basics slate of candidates at polling places on election day. City council and school board is still all about the ground game, and to have a ground game, you have to have volunteers. My best efforts we only covered 60% of polls open-close on election day this year. Half as many doors knocked as last year. The 2 who lost, only lost by less than 100 votes. Frustrating as h*ll.
Our state limits mail in voting to those who request a ballot, and it has to be notarized. We do have in person early voting, but limited locations, and voter ID is required at in person voting places. Is this overlooked in blue areas? Likely, there is always clean up to do. The fractal tech sounds really interesting, going to share with our County R Party chairman to see if this is something we can try here.
Well, I went to Build our Bench and Dan's presentation this week, but left at 7. I am not on the committee, but have been going to meetings here and there for a couple of years. I ran and lost last year as I didn't really campaign for it, too busy campaigning for everyone else, and frankly kind of glad as much drama as there is.
I would love to meet you at the next one, we fellow C&Cers need to stick together! I am a caretaker for my 84 YO mom and sometimes her issues throw a wrench in my schedule but I have the next one on my calendar. As far as I know I think I am the only semi regular attendee named Donna, so shouldn't be too hard to find me. I think the friction is just on hold for now. Legislature is no longer in session, primaries are still a ways off, so it's the calm before the next storm. Some of the newbies are pretty dang dug in, and the sad part is that while I greatly admire their passion and hard work, they are too idealistic in what we can reasonably accomplish in a blue county and this idea that we cling to the platform like it is the bible flies in the face of 'the real world' that the political process does mean give and take if anything is ever to be accomplished. A pure blood conservative may excite the base but if they lose in November we are wasting our time and money. I like people on both sides of this and it makes me sad that we are fighting amongst ourselves.
Iāll look for you at the next meeting. I usually sit over near the pool table. I think you are right about the newbies, and now I am one as of last meeting. I have hope the relationships will improve. I had an extended conversation with the chairman last month and do see a path forward. But I am new and reality may yet slap me in the faceš
BLESS YOU FOR YOUR "FIRE" IN YOUR BELLY--believe it or not--the Revolution was NOT popular with the majoriety of people living in the 13 colonies...so you can feel assured that you are DOING RIGHT by the progenitors of our once great Constitutional Republic by door knocking, phone calling, e-mailing--WHATEVER IT TAKES to educate the voting public. If people want to be "stuck" in their stupidity''-well the onus is NOT on YOU, Donna.
I am double vaccinated but didnāt vaccinate my kids. I have been fearful that I may be in same category (ticking time bomb) but then thought that living in the Coastal Elite area might have protected me (they gave us placebos) & maybe they would keep us around since itās 90% Biden voters! Funny the things youāll create in your mind to rationalize regretful decisions! I have neighbors, in their 40ās, who took 5-6 jabs. I donāt really know anyone of them having health issues at this point.
I'm certainly not casting judgment. I work for a big company and I estimate, anecdotally of course, that ninety to ninety-five percent of my colleagues went in for the shots. The company didn't push them but it certainly celebrated those who got them through Linkedin posts and ubiquitous reminders on our work computers.
Only one of my colleagues reported an issue, at least to me. The guy in question felt compelled to inform me every time he got a shot that he had a bad reaction. I counted five all told, including the bivalent booster.
Well and time frame mattered. When they first came out, my hubby, who is more trusting and optimistic than me, said, oh yeah, I will probably get the shot when my turn comes. A few months into it, he changed his mind (I helped a little, lol). I am not 'mad' at anyone who took the shot, but do have choice words for those who took the shot and then advocated that their choice be forced on others or threatened or disparaged those with a different viewpoint. My daughter in law was an early jab, nurse and Type 1 diabetic, got hers in Jan and Feb 2021 and had an appendicitis 10 days after her second jab, but doesn't believe the 2 things were related. My mom had a lot of skin issues/rashes/hives for 2 months following her second jab and her doc told her not to get any more. But those are the only issues I know of, half or so family and extended family got the shot. So guess we are lucky so far. But I do pray, can't hurt.
Did you have any of the initial side effects like fever, feeling lousy, etc. which they said ' is a good sign that your immune system is fighting'. I ask because I remember so many of my coworkers having that
Just testing, since Iām blocked from liking your comment?
I hope all of the vaxxed will just pray they got saline and live their lives to the fullest. Out of a large family I only have two, who fell prey. Because of pushback, I donāt think they went beyond the first one. I just pray it was saline and leave it to God.
The extreme difference in batches to adverse events is well documented, so I am not certain what you do not believe. I can only think of one other posssible explanation, which is did some large lots, say distributed to major hospitals, run into an eviroment where advese events were simply suppressed? Why do we not have the exact data say on Kaiser, or how many VAERS reports they filed, and so on for every hospital and hospital chain?
However if placebo lots were given, that also is vital information to know, and, like willful suppresion of adverse events, a crime.
"They do not want to show the complete failure of the vaccines, (now that most are vaccinated)
They do not want folk to know and understand the incredible variety of vaccine harms and viral harms, despite the fact that COVID has a low C.F.R. (The spike, in the virus or produced from the vaccine, is going to spike, or cause a wide variety of adverse affects.)
The Association of those effects with either the vaccine, or the likely man made virus, is being actively hidden.
And so most heart issues and all the varied VAERS harms, are falsely portrayed as being neither vaccine related, or COVID related. They treat the direct symptoms only, and now code for that. They do not keep records of VAERS illness and mortality, vaccinated versus un-vaccinated.
They also want to hide the cause of S.A.D.S excess mortality.
They do not want people to consider what is most likely a man made G.O.F. virus, to be dangerous."
Why now does it come out? Oh now they discovered 30% placebos. Hmm. I do not trust anything that comes out of the compromised lying media. They were given permission to post it.
I remember the analysis of Biden being immunized and how many said the syringe was pulled in a way where he got nothing, or something to that effect. I always wondered why he didn't get the initial 'sick' side effects. There was so much sketchiness around the entire thing. I heard somewhere that notes were seen on boxes of certain batches like 'African-American', etc.
A black fiend of mine from Cleveland said they tried to go to a clinic to get the shot and were told to go to a different location for the shot because they were black. So...different shots for different folk. It's just a huge controlled experiment on the American people. They are tracking everything and the next time they will refine the program based on these results.
One of the issues w/ vaccines is the one-size-fits-all. Canāt remember if it was RFKās book or Dissolving Illusions which pointed out that blacks respond differently that whites to such meds. They were being critical that the med bureaucracy not taking that in account.
Just as blacks need more Vit. D3 than whites bc their skin doesnāt absorb it from sunshine as whites. Also weight; a tiny grandmother get the same dose as a 300lb. athlete??
Another variable is where the toxin went into oneās body. If the nurse/doc/whoever didnāt aspirate to make sure a vein wasnāt penetrated the spike protein would go right in to the recipientās bloodstream. The writer abt this said that observing many videos of vax sites (remember the drive-in, get your shot, drive off?) he didnāt notice many shot givers taking the step of aspirating.
So much wrong in all this from the get go.
One year ago today a longtime friend, fit as a fiddle (other than developing a/fib after shots) collapsed suddenly. Passed away about a week later. SADS
Lots of variables, yes. And Iām amazed at how Iām meeting a lot of new people lately and hearing about their physical conditions, chronic illnesses is nuts.
I do appreciate my hippie days with the emphasis on eating right. Not the free love stuff. Love cost the only begotten Son of Godās life. It aināt free.
Annie, I well understand the skeptcism, yet this information has been out for sometime, just not in a peer review report AFAIK. Consider that much is coming out lately, including numerous immune suppression results from the vaccine. While the "March through the Institutions" is real, it is not omnipotent, (it is a big world) and this report will make folk upset, especially the millions (globally) that got COVID after the vaccine, real harmful, or placebo, and have had a wide variety of illness from COVID. Also no one likes being lied to.
Exactly right. ALL adverse events were and are being vigorously suppressed. Doctors will not report events in VAERS because they would be fired from the hospital if they did so. A family friend who is a RN at a local hospital for 2 decades has seen people come in for the shot at the hospital and die before even getting out of the parking lot or develop problems soon after getting home and dying while on route back to the hospital. NONE of these events were reported in VAERS.
If people knew the full extent of death and disability from the shots, there would be a violent revolution in this country. The amount of carnage is beyond our imagination.
They knew from the start that the vax was harmful and would not prevent anyone from getting sick. So makes you wonder---exactly why were they so desperate to get everyone vaccinated....?
Unfortunately, that is how this is going to work. I will bet that's how it worked with the Good Germans as well. Now that it's becoming safer, more mainstream people will come out. They will pretend like they were always against. Some will pretend like they were vocally against it. Then, we will reach a tipping point where it seems everyone was against it, no one actually wore any masks or pressured any others to take these drugs. We need to keep pushing to move the Overton window, though. It's not enough that it be exposed as an overreaction, a lie, or a mistake. It was worse than any of those. And we have an opportunity to make the Democrat brand at least as toxic as the Iraq war made the Republican brand.
Yeah, sorry but this is bullshit. Isn't Dana Carvey the one who was profiting off Fauci impersonations on fucking Colbert, the dancing propagandist? From a Zoom link? Totally okay with the lockdown, obviously. Totally okay with the party line, a paid fucking jester? All these celebs who sat tight, didn't say anything, I have no respect. None. Because THEY had the money to walk away, unlike so many others, who did not, and so felt they could not, and so got coerced inot jabbing or masking or testing bc wanting to support a fam, or keep a job they loved. Then there were those who had no money, so safety net, but walked away anyway, taking that risk. Like I did. Did I say coward already? I'll say it again. I don't care how funny. They. Are. Fucking. Cowards. Djokovic one of the only ones that gets it, if we have to be impressed by a famous person.
Funny, I saw one of her tweets last night and suspected the same thing. There is another guy responding in similar fashion (super racist about how āDem Blacks behave ā..,) and both accounts appear parody/fake to me. Both list āVolunteer for Obama/Biden Administrationsā as their jobs, etc.
Late yesterday was the first day this week that we in Wisconsin could go outside because the air quality was so bad. The way it came through doesn't make sense for wildfire smoke. Something just doesn't add up.
Yeah, Iām not buying it either. I told my husband that the news reminds me of the early Covid days when we were subjected to video of people in china dropping dead in the street. I donāt trust this for a minute. Something is being done purposely.
In turn, he offered a good suggestion. Are there any real-time satellite views of these supposed wildfires? Iām guessing not...š”
I just said the same thing to my husband! Where are the pictures of all these wildfires? People who get all their info from the msm keep saying, ā80 million acres burning.ā āSo far north in the Canadian wilderness they canāt get equipment up there to fight itā āFirst the fires were in Quebec, now magically in Ontario.ā āSo dry up there, itās a tinderboxā, despite heavy rain storms going through. The dead giveaway, the air doesnāt smell like woodsmoke, smells like plastic burning. Very much like the media blanketing when CoVid was dropped.
Well, ain't that just so interesting! A wildfire band straight across the whole blooming country. And the Wash-Oregon border, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas--but surprisingly, I cannot see any along the East Coast north of the Georgia N Carolina border. Isn't that peculiar? Makes me think once again of Catherine Austin Fitts hypothesis (expressed after the Floyd 'mostly peaceful protests' which destroyed so much inner city real estate) of a real estate grab. I had wondered this a.m. if these CA fires might be related to enabling the extraction of more of Canada's huge mineral wealth, especially on the territory of "First Nations People"--maybe also (isn't my shiny hat attractive? 100% pure aluminum--no alloys involved) preparation for 15 minute cities.
I just viewed your link and all I saw was little š„ pics all over Canada supposedly showing thermal hot spots? I am tempted to say, āBig whoopā. If anything, all these little š„ across Canada make me more suspicious that we are being gaslit by our governments again.
Good point. You might watch "MrMBB333" channel on YT, the self-described "earth watchman". He posts many reports / stories on weather / forest fires / UAPs and the like, and seems pretty credible.
Nothing is credible when it does not pass the gut test. My gut told me CoVid was a set up, J6, a set up, the Ukraine most definitely a set up, and many more, āthis is insaneā acts weāve been forced to swallow.
I understand this but I still have not seen one actual picture of the fires burning in eastern Canada. Considering how easy it is to fool everyone with fake pictures, (remember all the pictures of stacked up bodies in Italy and NYC), one would think they would at least spread some of those around, but not even trying, which makes me more suspicious.
I mentioned early on on this story (Quebec at that time) that normally Twitter would be full of random people filming & sharing. I did not see a single first hand account.
We are in northwest Ohio and it has smelled like rubber and plastic burning. Iāve had many, many people comment the same thing to me. This isnāt wildfires burning. Plus someone in another county south of us posted pictures of lots of dead fish and many in the process of dying. Something is really going on here. Others commented that they grew up in California and when there were wildfires you would smell smoke like wood burning, not plastic and rubber. The criminality in all this is mind boggling.
Smells like rubber and plastic here in Detroit too, but I was in Petaluma, which is the staging area for fire personnel in CA as it doesn't burn, during the CA fires and the air was really chemically and very unhealthy. In that case though it was often wildland/urban interfaces burning, so all the insulation and possessions and building materials in the homes were burning as well as wood. Does make one wonder what is really going on. It might be urban/wildland interfaces and the tentacled leviathan of the MSM is using it to nanny state us and program us for more lockdowns due to what? Pacific Cascadia blowing? Yellowstone volcano? Interdimensional aliens setting things on fire lol ? Nukes? They are up to something, that is axiomatic lol.
Interesting that it can smell differently that far south. Not one person weāve spoken to in our area/state has said they smell smoke. You have to wonder what is really going on and with the evil coming out of our governments these days, its anyones guess.
Its really not unusual for forest fires to smell like something besides a campfire sometimes
I remember about 10 years ago experiencing a few hours of smoke from a fire in Wisconsin that smelled like burning garbage. It mellowed out to campfire smell a few hours later
I was back in the Detroit area a few weeks ago and it was surreal. Tiny white flakes were observable in the air (I thought I was nuts but my level-headed son confirmed it).
No idea. Growing up in the Detroit suburbs, it wasn't unusual to have air quality issues stemming from the factories downriver. However, I don't recall seeing flakes in the air.
Gotcha....it could be that since there is so much air pollution already, the particulates are combining. Who knows. Why I'm detoxing as much as possible with diatomaceous earth, fulvic acid, and staying hydrated more than ever.
Food grade bentonite clay is something to consider. Fill your glass with water, have a mini whisk at hand, put a teaspoon of clay into the water and whisk like the dickens for about 30 seconds, then drink it right down.
If you put the clay in first and pour water on top of it, youāll get Play-Doh. Multiple external and internal uses. Stops mosquito bite itch almost instantaneously.
Goes into the intestines to detox and plug leaky gut holes.
Iām using that and MSM (organic sulfur) to cure my long, long running acid reflux and itās working!
All apple cider vinegar (which obviously works wonders for some) did for me was make the hurting worse.
Makes sense as our ancestors would also drink water with clay, back when the water wasn't totally polluted. I've taken bentonite and don't mind the taste. Didn't know about the mosquito bite thing though! Wow. Apparently there's also green clay from France that works very well, haven't tried that yet. Where did you get the MSM?
Where I get everything, Amazon. But I tracked down the supplier online and got a subscription going there as well. I donāt want supply chain issues interrupting my treatment. Iām sure any good natural supplements store would have it. But Iāve lived 72 years, have bought tons of supplements and am just now learning about this one.
Bentonite Clay, hydrated, is with me at all times. Fantastic for cuts or any skin issue. My dog accidentally got her tooth down my cuticle when playing with a ball and it started to get infected. Paste of hydrated Bentonite Clay held in place with plastic wrap pulled the infection right out. Husband cut his hand on glass and thought he might need stitches. Kept it wrapped in bentonite clay for a few days and healed beautifully with minimal scarring.
Iām a believer! I havenāt, thank God, had any wounds to deal with, but I will confidently apply when needed. I think I read someoneās report that they used it to draw out spider venom.
Yes, I have a tiny little scoop and dump a bit into my palm and add a few drops of water. Makes fabulous face mask and can be put into the bath to detox externally as well. Good for hair, good for skin, so many uses that I havenāt even explored yet.
Yes. Recommended is take immediately upon rising and wait 30 minutes before taking in food or other supplements. I do that and after 30 minutes I do the Bentonite and let that work for an hour before taking other supplements. The Bentonite is only once daily. The ORGANIC sulfur (I use powder or crystals) is three times daily.
I seldom eat before noon. So about midafternoon I do the second dose. Then when I get the first thoughts about eating again, I do dose #3 and by the time I get my dinner prepared, the 30 minutes of waiting time are over.
Hereās some information Iāve used.
From Dr. Axe
Improves Digestive Problems
MSM can help rebuild the lining of the digestive tract and lower inflammatory responses in response to allergic reactions to certain foods.
Itās also useful for helping treat leaky gut syndrome since it can help stop particles from leaching out the gut through small junction openings, where they can enter the bloodstream and ignite an inflammatory response. This is due in part to the sulfur in an MSM supplement, which is important for digestion.
Additionally, MSM supplements seem to help treat hemorrhoids, according to studies. Applying a gel containing MSM along with tea tree oil can reduce pain and swelling caused by hemorrhoids (swollen blood vessels of the rectum that make it hard to go to the bathroom without pain or bleeding).
Bentonite Clay
Gut Detox 1 tsp. of clay 2-4 oz. of water.
Directions Take internally for a full gut detox. Mix 1 tsp. of clay with 2-4 oz. of water. Shake well. Drink mixture once daily.
*For best results use for 8 weeks as a daily detox regime
Thanks! I've had leaky gut for years and stick to a pretty strict diet, but I've never tried this so I'll definitely give it a try. I'd also read about using L-glutamine to heal the gut and I'm currently trying that. I've heard of bentonite clay for years and actually have some but never gave it a good try. Do you mind saying what brand of MSM supplement you use? It caused stomach upset in the past so I gave up on it. Although MSM alone is highly recommended for joint pain. Thanks again for all the info. And Dr. Axe is good.
Yes. Empty stomach. So for an hour and a half in the morning, I give the ORGANIC sulfur 30 minutes to process, then the Bentonite clay gets an hour before ingesting anything else.
I should say, the sulfur is bitter, but after a few weeks, I hardly even notice it. In the beginning I would have a glass of plain water to drink right after the sulfur. Now I still drink the water, but not in a panic.
And you should drink plenty of water with these products, but Iāve always drank plenty of water and havenāt had to change my habits.
Ever seen a forest fire up close??? They produce WHITE FLAKES of ash...
I'm not saying ALL flakes are ash... But in the case of forest fires, they can produce white ash flakes. (Grew up in Florida where there are control burns regularly).
There is nothing ānormalā about this . Makes me wonder where that missing 60,000 lb shipment of ammonium nitrate went?
Taken from post on Twitter : āWhat does ammonium nitrate do to the atmosphere?
As ammonium nitrate explodes, it produces massive amounts of pollutant gases, including nitrogen dioxide, nitrous oxide and ammonia. Nitrogen dioxide, for example, is extremely toxic, while nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas, having about 300 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.ā
Sounds like a plausible theory and yes, scary. I was in CA during the bad fires where it looked like you were on Mars all day, dark and red. I had never experienced anything like that before and this is very, very odd for Georgia. Even after all of these recent storms and lots of wind here it is remaining very smokey. It also seems odd that the smoke is being blown South.
Thanks Roman--have daughter and family of four ( doubled in just one day by twins delivered two weeks ago today!) up there in Ont's BIG city. But she's so busy with these new lives that we've heard from her only twice in these two weeks.
Honestly - I live in Lancaster area - I didn't smell anything unusual - it is hazy - but not "smoky/hazy"--just cloudy (I live about 18 miles WEST of Lancaster proper.
Same in Chicago. I chatted with a Canadian actually who used to work in forestry who told me the west has been battling these wildfires for years and itās only now since itās affecting the Midwest/east that we care. They wonāt do anything about them. I was shocked she even didnāt think that maybe something else is going on because sheās always f-the government and spoke openly against the vaccines. She did mention her account got suspended and didnāt know why so she had to ask Facebook to reinstate it, so maybe sheās now paranoid to tell the truth on there.
Yep, we on the west coast have been dealing with this for years. The really bad one in Oregon three years ago did smell acrid, but houses did burn.
Maybe now somebody will listen. Pacific Power and Light finally, recently, took blame for the fire 3 years ago. PGE was charged in the Camp fire near Chico Ca.
There are many rumors that the Camp fire was deliberately started by operatives. I saw a lot of footage about that, but of course itās something we canāt talk about, you know, conspiracy theory or hate speech. š”
I agree. The level weāre seeing here in West MI is unbelievable. Itās like thereās a house on fire in the neighborhood that is just allowed to burn. We had a wild storm last night and I thought it would blow the smoke away. Nope. It was just as bad, if not worse this morning. Itās curious.
This beekeeper fellow investigated the plastic smell and found:
"The forest fire smoke goes up into the atmosphere, and UV light from the sun is causing a chemical process to turn it into formaldehyde and benzyne. Benzyne causes cancer at 4 parts per billion."
I appreciate your research, but not buying it. The upper Midwest has been dealing with these Canadian wildfires for over 6 weeks now. Winds early on from the north and NE were bringing it down, fires in Quebec. Winds and rains now out of the south and west and still smoke. Somehow the smoke is filtering down and getting caught in the jet stream. Not buying any of it.
Have to agree as I've lived with brush fires (in the chaparral) and forest fires (in the local mountains) for my entire life in Southern California, there's at least one or two big ones every year. They have never smelled like anything other than a campfire.
So they need to explain why this is different. Perhaps it's needs to get higher in the atmosphere for this reaction to occur hence the long distance travel to southern parts of the US. But people in Ontario and Michigan are saying the same thing and they aren't that far away.
The days of some egghead handwaving away something completely new and unusual as innocuous are long gone. They lost that trust and will never get it back.
My husband said āitās the jet streamā and I said it makes no sense. I think people WANT to believe these silly āexplanationsā because WHY would our governments want to kill us, the wildlife, etc.
But, we can always count on government to over play their hand.
I did a quick DuckDuckGo search. Raw (recent results) search seems to back that theory up. Changed the dates to only include results from the years 1995-2000. The only links showing up with regards to smoke turning into formaldehyde are questions about cigarettes and vapes. So, I don't buy this at all.
Yeah the air quality numbers are bad with a haze in the air in the TN valley today too. But we are also under a heat advisory. So many people on the news are hyperventilating about the heat--like itās abnormal for this time of the year. Cmon, people! Itās summertime in the South! Nothing abnormal about temps in the 100s at all. Heck, I think it was an abnormally mild April and May--for which I am extremely grateful--cuz usually the heat starts in one of those months.
There have only been 10 days where the high has passed 100 in Knoxville since 1990. Note that most of these are associated with heatwaves in 2012 and 2007.
It's not unheard of, nor is it accurate to say there is no historical precedent for these -- the 1950s and 1930s had a few 100 degree days, with the 1930s literally being famous for being a stupidly hot and dry decade (dust bowl, anyone?)
But it's inaccurate to say that 100 degree days are "nothing abnormal". It's definitely unusual.
I respect your data dive. In retrospect, my comment is derived from my past which was mostly lived in Texas. Much hotter summers there than the TN valley where I live now.
Yeah I lived in Corpus Christi for three years. 100 degree days there? Irritating but not that weird. Heck during that 2012 heatwave that pushed the thermometer to 100 in Knoxville (I grew up in Knoxville), Corpus had 26 days in a row with temps over 100. Thank god for the sea breeze otherwise it would have been completely awful.
Yeah, I grew up in Houston. What a hot, humid mess it was. We didnāt have the luxury of a sea breeze. When I married a career Army aviator and we would change duty stations, I would always ask someone from that duty station about the weather there. If they said it was humid, I would always ask, āHouston humid?ā If they just stared at me, I knew they had never experienced Houston humidity. Youāll never sit in a steam sauna (or understand why others do) if youāve spent any time in Houston. Also spent 4 years stationed at Fort Hood in the late 90s. I just looked up the historical summer data for nearby Waco for July 1998, and it was 100+ for 28 days that year. Whew! Just roasting! Donāt miss it!
This is why Texas and Florida pioneers were the toughest of the tough. No AC, earliest days no real windows or screens to keep the bugs out. Rattle snakes, water moccasins, gators (in Florida anyway), panthers, wild cats, bearsā¦those were some strong people. And Iām proud to be a descendant from both places.
My paternal grandpa (I never saw him-he would have been 90 something by the time I was born) was the product of a short lived marriage.
Story was a widower from Texas decided to relocate to the Florida Panhandle with several children. He met and met a widow with several children, my great grandmother. It didnāt work out because of apparently serious disputes between the children and the Texans went back to Texas. After that my grandpa was born. 1850s, I think. He never laid eyes on his pa and had to support himself and his widowed mother from an early age, as the siblings all drifted off. A very early age, working at a grist mill, grinding corn into meal and was largely paid in cornmeal. His mother tied rags onto his feet in the winter because he had no shoes. He never went to school and was illiterate.
At some point he received a letter with instructions from Texas saying the father had died and he was in the will. He didnāt go. It was too far to travel. Horse and buggy, stagecoach days.
He had landed a really good job supervising a turpentine still, destroying the virgin pines that covered north Florida, stretching from Pensacola in the west to Jacksonville in the east.
Nothing good had come thus far fro Texas and he saw no need to go. Who knows what wouldāve been there?
Very interesting family history! My momās family came from west Texas. Her dad owned a horse and cattle ranch. They were all tough as nails. My dad came from a large family (he was one of 10 kids) of sharecroppers. He was 1/8 Cherokee. Mom and dad were raised to be resilient and taught us kids to be so as well. But I never learned to fry chicken or can vegetables--some skills I may wish I had learned if the apocalypse materializes soon. Haha!
Here's to hoping the ruling on religious discrimination moves things along. My fire dept. fired 300 years of combined service in one day. Everyone one of us had a signed and approved religious exemption. We even had signed approved accommodations until the mayor reversed and denied them all. No surprise our city, Redmond WA is Microsoft world hq...
Scott, many in Redmond, Kirkland, and Bellevue fought hard for you guys. We protested, spoke in city council meetings, and pooled our resources to help serve common lawful notices to mayors and city council members on camera. They thumbed their noses at us and you just like our great governor thumbed his nose at the tens of thousands of notarized affidavits that were physically delivered to him. WA state is completely lawless. They have arbitrarily fired every person of conscience from city boards, Healthcare, elections, education, and EMS. They have gone rogue from any pretense of following the laws of the United States of America. What do we do about it?
Great job fighting and thank you. Going forward I'd really examine who's elected. In Redmond mayor Birney is up for reelection. Jaralee is a council member who tried to oppose Birneys actions.
Good job fighting, keep it up.
"All that is necessary for evil to win is for good men to do nothing"......
I live in Redmond. I grieve in my core for how this city has been taken over by power- and money-hungry politicians. I would bet that Microsoft granted lots of dollars to the City to replace the non-vaxxed. MS has ruined the look of Redmond.
Agreed. It's sad. We worked 18 months w/o the vax being available. We zero cross contamination, 100% success. I was our safety chair, head of health and wellness, Lieutenant and EMS instructor. The moment the vax was available we went from heroes to zeros. No change in environment, calls or PPE just the availability of the shot made my coworkers and mayor say things like " let the hunger games begin", " if you get sick you don't deserve a bed". They divided the fire family.
It's still shocking to think about the dark period that we just lived through, and that for some, continues. I want to surround myself with people like you and your strong colleagues & families who stood by your beliefs and principles. The absolute mind-blowing scene of watching the good guys like yourself being called the bad ones was truly dystopic. I'm lucky to be employed.....I was gonna be shown the exit had Biden's vaxx "orders" for private employers made it through. The people in Redmond and this area seem to believe in the religion of Science....they may not realize it, but it is truly a religion (they have faith in and believe in doctors, textbooks, the mainstream media, politicians, NASA, etc). May you be very blessed in the long run.
Awesome! I love this part of Redmond. We used to live in Sammamish until we moved here, and I always knew that somehow we'd end up at Union Hill whenever we next moved from there.
Well Jeff, you've opened a new subject of inquiry with the demonic attention. Here is a book a few C&C folk might find of interest. In 1986, Dr. Gary North published a 426 page book titled, "Unholy Spirits: Occultism and New Age Humanism". North was a Calvinist Reformed scholar and publisher who held a PhD in economics. He was a protege and son-in-law of R J Rushdoony, father of Christian Reconstructionism.
In Unholy Spirits, North argues that the fundamentals of humanism are identical with the basics of Satanism. Paraphrasing the dust jacket, the philosophy of humanism does not prevent a radical new class of scientists from opening up a Pandora's box of satanic experimentation which could change the way we live. As CS Lewis wrote in "The Screwtape Letters", when the materialists believe in demons but not in God, the battle is over.
With the explosion of the occult in America beginning in the early 1960's, "Not only has humanism laid us open for a spiritual onslaught the likes of which we have never seen, but modern scientific thought is in the midst of an epistemological and spiritual crisis from which it may never recover. Revolutionary changes are coming in society and in the laboratory. ...the merger between the lab, the demonic and the humanist may be the most ungodly alliance ever forged."
Bear in mind these words were published in 1986. When I first read these word in 1986, I never imagined how prophetic his thesis was and I certainly never imagined the horror that we are now witness to. Only now do I fully appreciate the insight that Gary North had and recorded in this book.
In a low circulation newsletter North published, he said that for the whole time this manuscript was on his computer, he was constantly plagued with computer glitches and failures. When the manuscript was finally removed from his computer, the glitches ceased happening. I lost my original copy of this book but I was able to replace it with a purchase off of Amazon. It's an easy, well written read of a difficult subject.
I just read the Introduction of Northās book. Itās as if I was reading a biography of the very early years of my life. All the familiar phrases, peopleās names, book titles, Herman Hesse! (Iād forgotten about him), pop songs and albums, (A phrase that struck a note: āKennedyās death on November 22, 1963 was in fact the death rattle of the older rationalism.ā), listening to tunes the words of which had no real meaning to me but sounded dreamy, experiences of daily life and all the news fit to print.
Thinking back to those times, I remember wondering where all those ideas were coming from. I was puzzled. I havenāt changed my mind.
The passage of time produced the children of those times, perhaps the grandchildren, bringing back a more sophisticated evil. A wild gene at work.
A thought came to me that maybe I am a closet Calvinist.
"A thought came to me that maybe I am a closet Calvinist."
LOL LOL I know I have a warped sense of humor but THAT is funny! Who knew, right? And I say that as a Calvinist. It's like all these Democrats finding out that they are not really Democrats.
šTruly. Sometimes I feel rather singular in the way I view things with some of my friends. It's a kind of query. "Can't you see that??" And that's just the secular facets of life. I get very peculiar looks when I start blathering on about how I feel lead. So nice to hear someone else feels the same way.
There's another book my mother studied in the 80s called "The Hidden Dangers of The Rainbow" and it was all about the rise in occultic practices in America. I've thought several times that I should get ahold of that book and give it a read. I'll add "Unholy Spirits" to that list as well.
'a simple, straightforward idea: there are unexplained events in this world. There are events which cannot, by their nature, be explained by the standards of contemporary rationalistic science."
Well thank you. (and he studied at Westminster, a mere 6-7 miles from my house)--because this encourages me publicallyl to admit (confess?) that for the 35.75 years we have lived in this house (approaching 200 years of age), we have --all of us in the family--but me to the greatest extent--experienced things which we cannot explain. Given that we as a family tend to the empirical (and husb is a physicist) we have jokingly assigned a 'name' to these experiences, accept them as real but inexplicable. Years ago, son-in-law, Anglican priest, did put on his robes and walk through every room, blessing it--and the incidents diminished or disappeared for quite a while.
The rise of occult in America beginning in the early 1960s? Occultism was enormously widespread during the Victorian era, with seances and fortune telling being popular pastimes.
Could you please link to the very best and reliable sites that list them? I would like to send them to a family member if I can get a good one that looks legit. Every day I talk to my mom she comments on my dad's new health problems (blood disorder issues) and says, "I just wish we knew WHY he has these problems!!" and I just have to remain silent because they're SUCH pro-jab people who took all 5 boosters. But I was able to help my mom better understand the transgender problem in kids with very good and specific, concrete real-life examples and I think in this case there's a small possibility she would listen if presented with something like that.
The problem with educating the 5+ poked people is that there is no cure. Especially those who are already experiencing health issues. So educating them could be extremely bad for their mental health. Those who were so afraid of getting the common cold are going to be devastated by what theyāve done. I have decided to love them through their ignorance about the gene therapies and educate them on topics such as child abuse, trafficking, grooming and the like. They canāt afford to believe you about the juice.
I'm not sure it's true that there's no cure. Sure, not in mainstream medicine-- they never cure things anyway. But there are several protocols out there for treating covid vaccine injuries. The hard part is getting people to face that this is what is happening to them and to actually try to treat the root cause.
I agree. The time for action was when the jabs were first introduced and I tried with some family, friends, and some acquaintances. They really psychologically can not go there, so why even bring it up?
Educating over-two-poked individuals is tricky - want to give them enough info to quit taking more boosters, but don't as you said want them to obsess over what they've allowed into their body.
Sadly, definitely picking up. I get obituary notifications from one of the local funeral homes. Many of the obituaries say āunexpectedly,ā or āsuddenly,ā or āat home.ā Just yesterday I was checking out the time of a funeral, Iām a church musician, and by the time I got home, three more obituaries had been added to the site. In addition, Iāve seen three ambulances drive by my house in the last 12 hours. That was just not a thing before 2022.
I have been ( my mother used to do this; I thought it creepy--now I do it) carefully reading the obits in a small-town Maine newspaper for the last two years. If the deceased is over 80, I breathe a sigh of relief. If under that, I suspect the jab. Last week one died in a one-person car crash.....
Normally, I would also be relieved if theyāre over 80, but lately, notsomuch. Even those obits say suddenly, indicating that the deceased was probably pretty spry.
William Makis reports by category instead of by celebrity status, so that's another one. Easier for me to comprehend individuals instead of statistics, but also enraging.
I think itās most helpful to show the all death mortality rates over the last 10 years through June 30 2023. Especially it can be agh own by age. Then we realize that each person on the sites becomes a person who died needlessly.
That is key. As time moves along the fall out from the shot is snowballing. At some point, the avalanche of death and destruction has got to cause a reaction.
Also--have you noticed how frequently the notice is accompanied by a plea for donation to GoFundMe (which speaks loudly, in itself] [here I could insert res ipsa loquitur!) for covering 'costs of funeral'?
"Was Pfizer ā with willing cooperation by regulators ā experimenting on the public with the different dosages? ". The hot batch reporting that came out first (will add link when I find it) showed a rotation of hot batches through a summer, 2021 I guess, from each vaccine to the next for thr big 3. Industry experts commented that it looked like a controlled dosage test to find the lethal level that would cause death. Think about that... an experiment across the world coordinated with three mfg's...
Karen Kingston & Sasha latipova have exposed the documents showing the jab program was a bio weapon program. Rfk jr was shocked when Sasha explained it to him. But now heās saying it so Iām pretty sure he checked her research.

It is so wonderful to see Sound of Freedom movie as a multiplier! I already had a ticket, but I purchased two more on the front row because I donāt plan to use them and didnāt want to take any good seats.
I already had my ticket where I am locally, but for the multiplier I just bought 2 at a California theatre where people are less likely to go see it. Donāt want to prevent someone from seeing it in locations where there are more likely people that want to. I chose the front seats also.
Honestly I didnāt search the whole entire thread. Like you said, so many and so spread out. Yours was the first I came across, but was surprised at least one comment about it didnāt garner more attention. Itās all good. Iām interested too, to see how many more tickets C&C bought up.
Iāve heard this argument. Iām left asking why would Jim Caveziel and Mel Gibson throw everything they have behind this movie if Tim was a fraud? I think all of those questions deserve answersā¦.but, Iām not sure thereās evidence that says heās a fraud or the movie is a fraud. Idk. We bought tickets a couple months ago because of what the movie is about and what we hope it exposes. I had no idea who Tim even was.
Kudos to you for having an inquiring mind! Perhaps Jim and Mel are charmed by Tim along with everyone else. Who would think somebody would lie about such a thing? Perhaps Jim and Mel are in it for the money too? Tim has already taken in $50M!!! That is a helluva chunk of donation dollars! Everyone is the Great Awakening movement are promoting this film. People do crazy things for money. IDK for sure myself. I just know that all the information I've gathered makes Tim look like a fraud.
And maybe all of that is āfake newsā. Well, I can certainly believe they were investigated very thoroughly and with great intimidation.
But I canāt imagine why a perverted individual would be part of making a film about their crimes, designed to wake a nation up to such horrific atrocities.
Sure sounds counterproductive.
TPTB are really good at plots to protect themselves and have full control of the media to get whatever stories out they want. They are masters of deception.
Same here! Good comment. TPTB would love for this movie to be buried. Iāve seen interviews with Jim Caveziel and he looks disheveled. He looks like heās been in a war. He looks tired in almost all of the interviews. When the demons of hell (aka TPTB) come after you and try to stop youā¦you battle and itās exhausting. So.
Iād also like to know how Tim supposedly got 50M off this? The money being raised by selling tickets doesnāt seem to garner that kind of money for a guy who wasnāt actually even one of the actors in the movie. Idk. Iāll reserve judgement, for now too.
Thisā¦āHe looks like heās been in a war. He looks tired in almost all of the interviews. When the demons of hell (aka TPTB) come after you and try to stop youā¦you battle and itās exhausting.ā
And I look at President Trump with all the hounds of hell in full throated attack for eight years now, and I know heās not standing in his own strength. God is doing something with this man!
I donāt doubt for a second Trump has been attacked from day 1 and heās still standing. He looks tired at times and other times looks fired up with lots of energy. The resources of Trump are probably much bigger and wider than an actor has at his disposal. So maybe Jim looks it more because of that š¤·āāļø Plus heās been adopting little kids who need heart surgeries and theyāve been dealing with many of those. I donāt know details but Iāve heard him speak about that a little bit.
Either wayā¦the war is raging and the battle is on. Many of us deal with the spiritual warfare too in different ways, without the financial resources or power of the name behind us. Weāre all tired. Thereās enough of that to go around. God is doing something with all of us. Some just on the front lines in the limelight and others in the shadows in the confines of their homes and communities. We are in a different kind of war. But, itās still a war.
Please, God, say this is not true! I remember how Mel Gibson was attacked and persecuted for making The Passion.
I would expect the attacks on all involved would be a hundred times greater with this film that is such a danger to so many very powerful people. Iāve actually been waiting for something to drop.
Until proven otherwise, thatās how Iām going to see it.
In our situation it is hard job nearly impossible to distinguish between the truth and fraud...being inundated daily with lies and deception
For example I was totally deceived initially by Pence āChristianā conversation come to find heās as fake as Chinese knock off and as much a patriot as Benedict Arnold.
We can only do our best to make a careful and critical examination of someone or something and then we try to support that decision based on our findings
Iāve been thinking about this from yesterdayās post regarding Madonnaā¦.āitās ānot the timeā to discuss the mysterious causes of her illnessā.
THAT is the STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard! Is her illness a secret? Are we NEVER to speak about the cause of WHY someone is illā¦.itās ājust mysteriousā?!
Cāmon!! We KNOW the reason WHY! Are we so childish to buy into āif we close our eyes, it goes awayā?!
People, we need to get passed this stupidity. THIS is what lead people to being brainwashed taking the shots and masking ā OUTDOORS!!!
That privacy crap went out the window when they all pushed vaccine passports and segregated society by whether your vaxxed or not. Can't claim vaxx status privacy now. And because they don't want to talk about vaxx status, they are acknowledging the elephant in the room. You know if any of these people were unvaxxed it would be all over the news.
I love this ~ had not thought of it in this way: "Can't claim vaxx status privacy now." That privacy right HAS BEEN WAIVED by anyone who was asking the question about others earlier. Yes!
I caused quite a stir at my husband's company holiday party dinner this past year when I said it at the table! My husband is the boss so I can say what I want without getting in trouble. ;)
The only people I am more discreet with are my kids' friends' parents because I don't want them to shun my kids (which they would...or at least there was a time that they would...maybe not really anymore.)
... yeah, just not via the needle. :) I was recently around someone who was sick with confirmed COVID for a week, and didn't come down with anything - so yeah, I'm definitely immunized!
Another option I've considered is, "If you want me to tell you that I'm vaccinated, then I can tell you that." (For those who don't mind being misleading, though not technically lying.)
Yes, there are many codes in use, rather than "a" "new medical code." They are detailed. They record the reason for the decision, such as believing disinformation. Seriously.
Just say you didn't take the jab if asked and you didn't. People need to get brave, just say the truth and why. Some people are fake-saying they took it with something like, yes, I've been vaccinated. Really, we all need practice in being brave, harder things are coming.
This has me puzzled too, as Madonna is a fit person. BUT, she has had many plastic surgeries and probably other body-altering things done to her. If she were to even go to the dentist, she would need to go on antibiotics first before a dentist could even clean her teeth or fix a bad tooth, or a bad infection would go the the weakest point in her body and cause chaos. If sheās not one to pay attention, because she is career-driven, then I can see where this bacterial infection could easily spread. But she was also intubated in ICU, because she stopped breathing. And now appears to be vomiting uncontrollably. Septic? Perhaps. Something worse? Who knows. If itās connected to the vax, we may never find out.
With all the crap she's done to her body, I'm surprised she's not sprouting some weird appendage. Never liked her self-absorbed slutty behavior, and now she's just scary looking on top of it!
I knew there was something up when people have to go get their second c-19 shot at the same place they received the first one. Why would that be? Because the people were in the clinical trial. This also explains why my 80 year old mother got turbo cancer and my dad didnāt- they got their shots and boosters at different locations.
Just an observation, but I've always been baffled as to how a region of the world - Eurasia - easily constitutes well over 35% (actually more) of the world's population... yet can wind up having it's descendants considered a minority ANYWHERE. They outnumber every other demographic by a mile.
I'll take a win however I can get it... but the racial quotas thing really is just insane.
BTW... my son just completed a 400 level math class at his top ten university this summer. He was the only kid in class who wasn't Chinese. They are kicking our you know what's... while we continue to lower the standards for basic high school graduation anymore.
More encouraging news! Supreme Court just ruled in favor of young Christian web designer who did not want to do work that was contrary to her Christian beliefs.
How sad is it that I instantly knew exactly what episode of Seinfeld that picture of Newman is from? It's from the one when Kramer tries to opt out of receiving mail. The scene is a spoof of "Three Days of the Condor" where Newman is warning Kramer he can't trust any postal employees.
Regarding the wildfires, Ethical Skeptic has a series of tweets up discussing how the smoke smells like burning tires or plastic and doesn't smell anything like typical brush/forest fires. He thinks something else is going on, and speculates it's related to the recent huge jump in sea temperatures. It sounds out there but he's speculating it's some sort of volcanic action that is cooking underground oil. Frankly it's so bizarre sounding that it's making me question some of his other conclusions.
Last off, anyone else notice that Twitter is now making you log in to see tweets? If anyone has a workaround please post. I've never had a twitter account and am not about to start now.
Update:
From Elon's twitter:
This will be unlocked shortly. Per my earlier post, drastic & immediate action was necessary due to EXTREME levels of data scraping.
Almost every company doing AI, from startups to some of the biggest corporations on Earth, was scraping vast amounts of data.
It is rather galling to have to bring large numbers of servers online on an emergency basis just to facilitate some AI startupās outrageous valuation.
Just noticed that today with Twitter. Very annoying. I do have an account but don't use it and would prefer not to have to log in to see tweets.
Okay, I bought 3 tickets today for this weekend.
I closed my Twitter account a couple years ago for a reason.
And because I donāt have an account I canāt view itās contents
Much like many of the media online sites wonāt allow you to read an article if donāt give them your email.
Itās the same thing with Siri and Alexa they wonāt cooperate with one another either.
Who uses Siri and Alexa? The government 3 letter agencies... So
As I've said before, I finally pulled the plug on all 8 of our Alexa Echos a few months ago. 6 years ago I permanently deleted my FB account, after not using it for at least 3 years prior. I've dumped all other social media accounts - excepting Twitter - as well.
I also switched from an iPhone (I was an early adopter of iPhone and all things Apple as well as Twitter in 2008) to a non-internet phone (LightPhone II). The LightPhone froze up and went kaput about two weeks ago, and I won't replace it.
We dumped cable years ago, and about three years ago gave our large TV in the den to our eldest son, after realizing that there's something wrong with placing a television over our fireplace mantle, which simulates an altar. We do not want to give pride of place to the 5th gen warfare sewer pipe that emptied into our home.
I've recently been pining for dumping our internet service provider and the internet altogether. (Wouldn't it be great if we could somehow go back to a society without the internet and smart phones? Well why the heck not?)
There's some weird 5th gen warfare going on with our electronic devices. I call it the Matrix. I'm fighting against it.
Do you have a single twin brother?
First internet related smile today from your comment. Just hit me funny. Thank you. Hope it's a yes. Dreams DO come true Gram!
Not a twin, but he's a slightly younger brother. Never married, so he's spoiled and persnickety about what he does or does not waste his time on.
He's an exec with the federal courts, and makes a boatload of money. LOL
I have never had a tv or cable or Twitter or any social media except Facebook. I only keep that to stay in touch with people who live far away from me and whom I donāt see often or ever. Also belong to some groups that are very worthwhile. I was a very late adopter of smartphones but itās become very hard to do without in my line of work. I do try to avoid as much as I can though and pay attention to my settings.
If I were totally retired--I'd go 'unconnected" altogether as well! I applaud your decision, Mr. Bennett.
I tried one of those and it creeped me out so badly . I actually threw it in a outdoor firepit
Fred, I am really intrigued by the LightPhone. Did you like it?
I have a Light Phone. It has a few quirks, but I like it. I use it just for phone calls and text messaging (to those who insist on texting), but it also has podcast capability, and I love that. I listen to quite a few podcasts. Everyone I know has an iPhone, but I won't get a smart phone because I want to pay attention to the world when I'm out and about. Can't stand how everyone has their heads bent down, looking at a piece of glass and plastic when there are people and a whole world around them.
Thank you for this reply, Natalie. You are preaching to the choir. I too really hate seeing all the bowed heads (and I include myself in that condemnation). I deeply, deeply resent my phone and how these devices have trapped us all. I am really trying to break free.
I just finished the book Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport. It's very good, and you might find it helpful. Though I don't use a smartphone, I find myself on my desktop way too much. I think this book will help me break free of the addiction.
Yes, I tend to justify the use of my desktop as a necessary evil for doing my job. It's still a distraction and time suck and I would love to exercise some discipline over my casual use of it. Before the internet I used to read several books a week - I literally could not be found without a book in my purse or in my car which I would read when I had to wait anywhere or for anything. I even took books on my walks when my kids were portable (one in a front back, one in a back pack and a book in my hands). I have lost focus with increased internet use and electronic media consumption.
I couldn't agree with you more. I used to read a lot of books and listen to music. I homeschooled my kids before computers were very important and founded a homeschooling support group without benefit of the Internet--just on word of mouth and using the telephone. Now I look back and am so glad there was no Internet because I probably wouldn't have accomplished nearly as much. I don't do any social media and everything I look at is worthwhile--like Coffee and COVID!--but it's just too much. I spend too much of my day reading Substacks or listening to podcasts, and COVID really ramped that up. I have to start picking and choosing which online resources to use and spend more of my time doing activities that used to mean something to me, like reading, playing the piano, gardening, etc. I do still take books with me when I go out to a doctor's appointment or some place where I'll have to wait because I don't have a phone to occupy my time, so that's at least a plus.
JUST DO IT, NAB!! It's not that difficult! Perhaps grab a carrot instead of the screen and say, "What's up, Doc", instead! LOL!!
I'm trying, SBE, I'm trying!
Grab your CARROT stick, NAB!! NOW!!!
Here's a YouTube video about the bowed heads permanently stuck on Social Media: https://youtu.be/QugooaNRnsk
It's extremely good.
Gads...the idiots at the gym! They canāt put their damn phones down, so theyāll do a set, sit on the machine and look at their phone for many minutes, then maybe do another set...
I am ready to KILL.
Yes, this video is extremely good; B&W makes it even more morose. When the documentary Social Network came out I saw it 3 times in 1 week. I couldn't believe what I thought I was seeing and had to make sure. lol! I never signed up for FB as it was created/stolen out of pure jealousy and greed.

The Social Dilemma is another profound documentary featuring the CEOs of Big Tech: https://archive.org/details/the.-social.-dilemma.-2020.1080p.-webrip.x-264.-aac-5.1-yts.-mx
If you like to learn the 'old-school' way by reading a hard copy book I recommend: Nicholas Carr's The Shallows - What The Internet is Doing to Our Brains (2011).
For the effect of technology (our cell phones!) on our cells: Resonance - Beings of Frequency is my favorite:
https://vimeo.com/54189727
Read The Shallows 10 years ago and apparently I need to revisit it :) Thanks to all for the encouraging comments.
The Social Dilemma is sobering and enlightening. I recognize so much of what it demonstrated active in my life and the life of my children.
The Shallows is excellent!
Thank you. I haven't seen / read any of those, but I darn sure will now.
I'm with you on the "dumb"phone--that's what I've called them from the start because people are surely getting "dumber" and "dumber" by grasping onto that "small screen" 24/7. I swear as time goes by--people will be PERMANENTLY connected to their "device".
And that is how they'll sell the implanted chips or AR Goggles--"Remember how silly we were (shots of bowed heads, tangled earphone cords, dropped airpods, people trying to do things but can't b/c they lack a free hand b/c it's got a cellphone in it), what a hassle it all was? Finally--(shots of vapid smiling people, hugging, shopping, nurturing their children, swiping their hands over scanners at Whole Foods) true freedom, true connectedness is available! (shots of little glowing pulse between thumb and index finger, or back of neck, or top of head). Don't be a Luddite (shot of person tangled in wire, ALONE)--get neuralink!"
Yeppir - and it's coming at nano-speed and the sheeple will EAT IT whole"heart"edly!!
.... by design.... part of the transhumanist agenda.
I wanted to like it. But honestly, the LCD screen makes it damn near impossible to type. You can do the voice-to-text feature, but you have to keep your texts super short to be able to go back and correct the errors (which are many.)
I don't think I would buy it again
My sister-in-law gave us one of those Amazon/Google things. I told him absolutely not. He thought I was crazy, but, about a year later, all of that stuff came out about them listening in. We still have it unplugged, uncharged, in its box, somewhere in the house. Iād be happy to dump it.
Siriās good for turning my iPhone light on and off. She also does quite well with pulling up websites with the information I need. Iāve decided not to fear AI any longer, but to learn to use it for spreading the gospel.
God gave it to us. It can do immense good. If the evil beings decide to come after meā¦well, Iāll cross that bridge with Jesus when I come to it.
Interesting take. I say that about all technologiesāthey can be good or bad depending on how you use them. Like fireāit can warm you and cook your food, or it can burn your house down or kill you.
All things are permitted to us, but not all things are good for us? Some feller said words to that effect, once upon a time.
And it depends on choices for how to use them. If I didnāt hear reports, I would have no idea about evil things on the internet. Just like in real life, I donāt go to those places.
In general I agree but I believe there are areas forbidden to man like technology creating man/animal hybrids, manipulating genetic material that āenhance human functionā (Canāt be done but they still try) cloning human beings, building a Tower to reach Heaven, etc. Itās like man wants to be God even from the beginning.
I totally agree with you there. I think trying to genetically modify what God has made can be very evil.
But I think if bad genes could be replaced with good ones to heal conditions, that might be viewed as very beneficial to mankind. Iām thinking of one, not handicapping, just disfiguring that Iāve had since preadolescence. One bad, bad gene. That I unfortunately passed on to some of my children and grandchildren and it really makes me sad.
It is called hubris. The Greek gods hated this in man. What does our God feel about it?
"MY grace is sufficient for you" comes to mind....
True. But in many ways technology always does that in some way. This is just closer.
šØ Technology is an amplifier. It makes the good better, and the bad worse.
(same Svetski again)
Exactly.
As long as you don't mind your phone always listening in on you.
Well, every once in awhile, I say, āDid you get that FBI? Should I repeat it?ā
I donāt give it a thought. If the feds decided they wanted me, they could take me. If they want to persecute or prosecute me for living my life as a free child of God and thatās in Godās plan for me, itāll happen.
In the meantime I know at least half the human population must have cell phones now. And I know thereās some massive storage places collecting all our texts and calls. And I picture that scene at the end of Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark, where the Ark is stored, swallowed up in this massive warehouse. And you just think, well, thatās never gonna see the light of day again.
And given the level of proven incompetence in our government, I wonder if they really can manage such a universe of communications. Or are they exaggerating to frighten us into complacency? Iām sure they can do some specific targeting, but can they really watch us all all the time?
šØ AI. It is a tool. It is a technology. It is NOT a new life-form, despite what the lonely nerds like Yudkowski(* so desperately want to believe.
šØ the only way we can fight black-hat AI is with white-hat AI

(* of 'nuclear-bomb the server farms' infamy
I think thatās what Iām realizing. My old geezer friends love their political groups and somebody is always trying to get me to go to meetings. Finally someone I canāt say no to asked me and I went to one. And itās a marvelous socializing and small scale networking activity, but I canāt see it saving the nation.
I tell them Iām a keypad warrior. They do their part, but I feel called to influence a bigger field.
It is getting harder and harder to maintain that technology is morally neutral.
I think itās all about you and what you personally do on line. The internet canāt reach out and pull me into anything. I know my Masterās voice and Iām heaven-bent on following it.
You are made of stern stuff, WS. I know that for me, I can end up wasting too much precious time perseverating on things over which I have absolutely no control. Twitter too often becomes a "near occasion of sin" for me tempting me to indulge in my anger. My husband gave up all internet for Lent and hasn't gone back (and he was already quite limited in his use getting most of his news from The Babylon Bee :)). All I know is I was happier and more productive before I began consuming events through Twitter. I honestly can't point to any person in my life who uses social media or the internet in ways that aren't problematic (I particularly reset the ways my children are affected and we held out long past most in even giving them access - but once granted, it is like a black hole).
I have said so many times, I am so glad Iām not having to raise my children in this age of social media.
For my grandchildren, they did not and will not get cell phones until theyāre in high school. None of this 10 year old with a phone stuff. They all try āall my friends have a phoneā and āwhat if I have an emergency?ā Well, if all your friends have phones and thereās an emergency ask to borrow one.
Mostly theyāve had to get jobs and buy their own.
I know thatās tough, but youāre the boss. You make the rules. If you want to take possession of the phones from say 10:00 p.m. till 7:00 a,m. do it.
All true, WS. In our house we did not give cell phones to kids until they were 16. With kid #5 he was literally the only student in his grade without a cell phone (other students were going to chip in an buy him a phone). Plus, we have pretty strict control over his use but even when it is in his possession, it is total immersion. And, sad to say, my older kids who are in their twenties, aren't much better. It takes enormous self-discipline the likes of which I don't think many people possess.
I agree, but it can be a greater or lesser struggle depending on the person. I find it easy to dive into reading or watching stuff and lose track of time, and it's taken me quite a while to build discipline over it (and still not perfect!). I know others who can't resist arguing all night when "someone is wrong on the internet"; and of course, knowing that p*rn can be found easily is a temptation for some too... or instant gratification of online shopping.
On the other hand, I find a lot of positives out of it, educationally for example - lots of great videos explaining technology, theology, economics etc - or in connecting with like-minded people such as here on C&C. So as I said, I agree, but as with all things in life it's a matter for wisdom and self-control.
I know. Iām well into senior hood and hope Iām older and wiser. The things of this world donāt matter to me that much anymore. When I was younger, I made many bad choices.
And Iām so glad Iām not raising kids now. It was hard enough back in the day.
But I know this to be true from personal experience:
Corinthians 10:13. No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it.
I have stories about a faithful God, who has the answer to everything.
I unplugged Alexa when it started playing music while I was silently working from home. Siri responded to something I was telling my husband without being prompted to. After going back and saying the sentence again, there was nothing in what I said that came remotely close to āHey Siri.ā They are always listening, which is creepy.
Yup - THAT right there!
The idea of Alexa and the like is downright creepy, which is why I've never acquired one.
Only experience Iāve had like that; I was reading a news headline out loud and it was something about Syria. I said, āSure, Siri, I have to ask you three times to turn on my iPhone light, but you just jump right in when I say the word Syria?ā šš¤£š
I was totally creeped out when visiting daughter's family in southern England in Nov, and 5 year old kept using Alexa to talk to me from the first floor.
Nope.. no .. nada.
Never. But daughter's family in UK--all for it!
It just happened to me today, too. I really donāt want to sign up for Twitter but I may have to.
I signed up for Twitter and it took me one day to be so disgusted by people shamelessly attacking each other that i closed the account.
I never read anything on Twitter unless Iām directed there by a good source like JC. Otherwise itās very easy for me to just ignore. No temptation whatsoever to play with it. For me It is a tool to see these particular tweets and thatās all it is. We are in control of our eyes, ears and mouths.
I donāt use it to read conversations. I use it to read specific tweets. No thank you to reading arguments
Same, me too. I only follow a handful of conservatives and I donāt bother reading any thing else, like comments. I like having a Twitter account. I donāt tweet myself or get involved other than to heart for support.
I think the Twitter link problem for non twitter subscibers may have to do somewhat with the massive interest in the Tucker on Twitter postings. If you want to listen, youāll have to subscribe. Same problem today with Telegram twitter links.
Tucker is instantly reposted on rumble and elsewhere every time he uploaods a vid, so it's not going to work except on those who don't know where else to look...
Oh Susanna - Same
Same. They donāt like this link.
Same here. Iām signed in on the app, but when I click a link it thinks Iām not signed in. š”
Yes, can't see tweets, don't have an account...not getting oneš
It was yesterday methinks that the curtain got pulled on incognito voyeurs š
To use twitter links without logging in, use nitter.
1. Take a twitter link and replace the tw with n, and replace com with net.
(i.e, replace twitter.com with nitter.net).
https://twitter.com/alextopol/status/1674695447590457346
https://nitter.net/alextopol/status/1674695447590457346
2. OR, use the Redirector extension (chrome or firefox).
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/redirector/ocgpenflpmgnfapjedencafcfakcekcd
This video shows how. 3 mins long.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YPQQlSDCvSo
Jeff might want to consider making this replacement upstream as it were, for the disaffected us all at once, at the very source š
Ty for now, I'll show myself out š¤ø
I'm going to start using nitter.net when I post my links.
š Inclusion & Equity covered. What are ya gonna do about Diversity?
Are yāall could just all decide to move into the 21st century. Itās not going away. Pray about it.
LOVE IT. Ah just when the modern day robber barons think they can stop the pleebs from accessing information we just find a way around it.
Thank you very much. I wasn't finding this via searches on various engines.
Not working for me, tried Nitter with the Dana Carvey link
Thank you! Will give it a try.
It works!
Who even are you, FBM, to come up with such geniusness? :)
Thank you! "Where there's a will ... "
To create a twitter account, should I give my real name and birth date or can I lie?
It's not like facebook; so you can use an alias 'Datagal' perhaps, and for birth date I like to use 1/1/(real birth year). Easy to remember and stay consistent.
Note they will need your phone #.
Thanks!
Sweet.....U da man!
Yep I think you mentioned Nitter months ago
I use that if I need to see something
Thanks š
"Tweet not found" on your nitter.net link. I read nittier.it would work, but alas, it doesn't work either.
Tried this and got serious Microsoft Defender warnings. Quickly exited because I just don't need tech issues.
Yes, I can't watch the Twitter video either. First time. I am not on Twitter and definitely won't join.
Yes, I've noticed and others too. Unclear if this is a deliberate move by the business or temporary glitch.

I have an account. My handle is something like āf^ck Joe Bidenā. Itās my second account. I closed one years ago. At that time I sort of knew how the platform worked. Closed the account when they started censoring right views.
Then something convinced me after the 2020 steal that I needed an account again. I never post or retweet, Iāve forgotten how to use it. Thatās fine. All I want is to be able to see tweets that are posted. I really havenāt suffered any ill effects.
I've reopened a FB account too. Don't plan to use it for much but it gives me access to a few groups that I want to keep up with. I figure if I don't get in the habit of using them then they will be easily deleted from my life if I decide to do so in the future.
I also have FB; check in occasionally to see what nice little trips my large family has been on. Very seldom do I even post anything. I hardly have time for it anymore.
I had gone through the ādone with Fakebookā maneuver several years back. I got a new account, when one day I was talking to my sister and she said, āMollycakes (not my daughterās real name) was really nervous about Rufus (not my oldest grandchildās first name) was having his first flying lesson.ā
And I said, āWhat!!! How do you know that? And she said, āI saw it on Facebook.ā Needless say, I made a new account immediately. My sister doesnāt get to tell me about big happenings in my family š£
I tried the nitter.net for all of today's tweets. They returned as Tweet not found.
Yup. Also my experience.
Me, too. Also nitter.it, which I read about. Doesn't work either.
Couldnāt get the Twitter links up either. And I have no intention of getting an account.
Same here. I briefly considered getting a Twitter account just to watch Tucker, but no. I can surely find his posts on Rumble.

Thank you
Same here. Am not able to see Twitter stuff.
Same here, I couldn't access the Tweets without an account.
Wow as usual, I thought it was just me and my lack of techiness
Naomi Wolf has a great description of the toxic air in Manhattan back when NYC had its āorange-out.ā She said the smell and her reaction to it reminded her more of the poisonous air on 9/12 than just wildfire smoke.
Regarding Twitter, I also agree. It keeps making me try to login whereas I didnāt have to do that before to see a clip. Donāt want a Twitter account. Not signing up for a Twitter account. But I would like to see the clips. I went out on YouTube and found the Dana Carvey clip. šš
All y'all without Twitter accounts are missing out! Though I don't fully trust Elon, Twitter-- which used to be an awful, blue-only echo chamber-- is great now that he took over.
I donāt really know as I only use it to read tweets posted on trusted sites. I told my grandchildren the internet is like the whole world is just opened up before you. And just like you know physically there are places you should not be, same with the internet. Ask Jesus. Heāll tell you whether or not you should go there.
Big nope here.
Yes, I couldnāt see them either. No twitter account so...
"Regarding the wildfires, Ethical Skeptic has a series of tweets up discussing how the smoke smells like burning tires or plastic and doesn't smell anything like typical brush/forest fires."
This may explain the white flakes my son and I observed in the air when we were in the Detroit area a few weeks ago.
FYI... Forest fires can and do produce ash, white flakes to be exact... When we got slammed by 2 hurricanes in 2004 there were so many trees down the county hauled them out to a large private tract of land 6 miles from city center and set them ablaze....HUGE PILES OF TREES. Problem was, the area was not "out in the country" but rather countryside surrounded by communities. White ash and heavy smoke blanketed our area. It was a nightmare! Hot, humid weather...and SMOKE so thick in some places you couldn't see through it. It was a great teaching moment for our inept democrat run city and county commissioners.... ((Diversity) elected)š«¢š... And yet, we're still electing the same kinds of fools...progressive commies. Life in a University town.
When I was little I was swimming at the beach and ashes came floating down on me (they were burning a field after harvest). I didn't know what it was. My sister said "it is from the crematorium. They are burning bodies" I nearly drowned. I screamed like there was a shark attacking me. I was an irrational child.
Funny. Bet she was a big sister.
Yes. 6 years older. She's still full of it.
Sounds pretty rational to me. Now you got me reconsidering cremation.
Yup, white flakes are very common here in Southern California during brush fires, it's not unusual to see them a hundred miles or more distant from big fires. People know to was them off the car quickly as they can eat at the paint.
Having lived through literally dozens of brush fires though, they never smell synthetic but always like burning wood in a campfire. There is something funny going on if it smells like burning tires.
All the young women from Canada on a FB group I am on, said it smells like chemicals and they and others in the US are upset because they have babies and children and no one is issuing warnings or advising on ways to protect themselves from the toxic air.
There is no shortage of stupid before, during or after a hurricane. Bet you can attest to that.
Yup! Never ceases to amaze me!
Hubs was the regional director for state emergency management in Houston during Katrina, Rita and Ike. OMG!! It's not just the citizens, but the politicians! Mayor Bill White was responsible for that tragic evacuation when Katrina was on It's way. He got on TV and said EVERYONE LEAVE NOW!!! Orderly evacs were working well. He also invited all the refugees from New Orleans to come to Houston, then tried to "order" my husband to completely shut down I-20
and turnback the buses at the state line. What a dumba$$!!
Air quality here in Maryland was terrible yesterday. I was floating down a local creek and noticed ash flakes settling down on the water. I think thereās WAY more to those wildfires than weāre being told.
Has anyone seen pictures/video of said fires? Youād think that theyād be all over the place, I havenāt seen one...maybe Iām not looking hard enough BUT when CA has fires I see them all over my feeds. Just saying...
Great comment - yes, WHERE ARE all the videos of these "wildfires?"
I noticed that too. Should be everywhere
No.. no videos.
1. I heard there are fires on land bought by China?
2. Young women living in Canada on a FB group I belong to said that there has been torrential rain for 3 days (as of yesterday) so they were perplexed.
3. Soneone else mentioned train derailments
4. They all saud that the smell is chemical.
Again: all hearsay
Well, you can blame Twitter on me. I've been praying for weeks (even months) for G-d's assistance in getting me to reduce the time I waste viewing Twitter feeds. I don't have a Twitter account and am not going to start one just to see timelines, so I'm chalking this up to Divine Intervention. Thank you, Jesus!
Ya I'm getting tired of all of it. Even substack! What?! LOL.
<In my quiet voice:> Me too, BFM, me too.
Yes. Suddenly twitter is requiring sign in!
Never wanting to feed the beast, did not want to comment, never had an account. I did click on when someone linked to a particular twitter post of interest. Twitter has become a public commons, of a sort. But I prefer to be highly selective about where I actually "join", such a C&C. The very large, social engineering sites, like twitter, are particularly unappealing.
I'll hold out. Hope more people, who are accustomed to sharing twitter links, will adjust by copying the twitter comment, or summarizing the gist. Or I'll make do with what I can learn elsewhere, dropping out of those twitter conversations altogether, even as a "listener" only. That will probably save me a good piece of time for off-internet reading.
If I look at tweets through Google chrome, I have no problem looking at them without signing in. If I go through DuckDuckGo, I can't see anything unless I sign in.
Off topic, but was wondering if anyone could provide a link for the Defender article referenced in one of the first stories in this post? I can't even find a website called the Defender except for some woke Catholic college. I searched using terms like "Defender," 'The Defender," " The Defender COVID," "The Defender COVID Danish study European journal of inquiry" or whatever the name of the journal is and got zero results. Apparently there's a movie called " The Defender" because I got lots of results about that.
Don't know the exact article link but The Defender is RFK Jr's news blog from Children's Heath Defense:

Thanks for the tip on Chrome, I'll give it a try.
Thank you for the link! I couldn't figure out where to go.
Hmm--I cannot open the links today (sure could yesterday) and I am using Brave.
I tried google chrome for a link...didn't work. I think once you clear your cache and reset things or if you reboot your computer, you will eventually lose access to twitter unless you have an account.
That sucks.
I read posts on Twitchy.com and have always been able to click on the tweets to read the full tweet if needed. Guess I'll have to give up twitchy! I'm getting used to walking away from all sorts of things these days.
Yeah, truth social or telegram is all I have now. Used to be a rabid Facebook guy until they suppressed everything. Tried Twitter for a few months, until recently. Elon has to crack down on the porno ads that bots send out. Tons of other depravity. Just got sick of it even though it was useful to try to educate the masses, but to be seen you need to pay a monthly fee.
I quit playing on Facebook when they shut down Trump. They were already censoring me, but that was the final straw. Same with Twitter and Instagram. I got on Parler but then they shut that down. I finally just gave up. I have to say, I think it's been good for my mental health! Even if there was a place I could go where it wasn't watched by the government and people thought the way I do, there's danger in that group think rut. Being of social media allows me to think clearly and consider different angles that I probably wouldn't have considered it I lived in an echo chamber. I have to be careful even on sites like SubStack. When breaking news happens and I get the leftist sound bite, I like to think about it and ask myself questions. Then I go read what someone I trust has to say. Then I ask more questions!
It's definitely a healthier way to approach it.
It may be that chrome is tracking you and your clicks/history in a way that DDG does not allow.
Earlier today Twitter wanted me to make an account to see the tweets but now itās not.... can just see them as usual. Weird š¤
If I had a dollar for every gender, I'd have two dollars.
Now thatās funny š
We live in a world where genders are printed out of thin air, just like our money.
The excess genders rely on the full faith and credit of the woke left.
šš¤£
Doesn't sound like a shining business plan š
Or you would get a 3.00 bill if you added hermaphrodites.
If I had a dollar for every gender expression, I'd pay off my car!
Due to the coin shortage we canāt produce non-binary change.
I love and appreciate the Dana Carvey/David Spade video but where were these guys in 2021? Too many people appear now to be joining the fashionable "I was for it before I was against it" cavalcade. It reminds me of the people in 2004-05 who suddenly were "always against the Iraq War" when things didn't turn out quite the way Bush and the neocons promised.
Additionally, the Erica Marsh account is fake, apparently. As someone pointed out on gato's page:
"Update: "Erica Marsh"s profile pic seems to have been lifted from a German consulting website, which is no longer live on the web.
If you needed any further info that this account is fake... ."
JP Sears has been mocking this from the very beginning. HE was actually brave and principled all along. I do like Dana Carvey and David Spade but also wonder what took them so long?
I credit Tucker Carlson for opening the door to all of these people and having the cojones to speak truth to power. I was introduced to Alex Berenson on Tucker's show in early 2020 when people were going nuts, the already strong smell of B.S. was in the air, and rational thinking was at a minimum.
JP Sears is one of those people, like the aforementioned Tucker, Mr. Childers, Esq., Alex Berenson, el gato malo, Naomi Woif, Steve Kirsch, Riley "Edward Slavsquat" Waggaman, and so many others, who were both clear-minded and brave and offered a lifeline of sanity. As those around us became nuttier and nuttier and we started cutting ties, my wife and I often consoled each other by asking whether we would rather be aligned with people like JP, Mr. Childers, and Tucker, or Team Joe Biden.
We were right all along, by all appearances.
Remember his life jacket?
An excellent analogy by JP, loved that!
Good question. Did they have their Publicists do some PR research to make sure it was acceptable to go against the āChurch of Covid Vaccineā.
Precisely. Had to wait and see which way the wind was blowing. Funny, but no heroism there.
JCM, it *is* exasperating, but there are so ominously MANY who are still totally hypnotised that I am thrilled and relieved at any and all joining the ranks of disbelievers ~
I'm with you there. I'm always grateful for anyone who ultimately sees the light and I've always liked Dana Carvey and David Spade. In the final analysis, it's progress.
It makes me wonder what Chris Farley's take on this would be. I miss that guy.
I just hope hey donāt turn out to be pedophiles!!!
Love your screen name!
Ain't that America.
Weāll see more and more celebrities and politicians doing exactly what Carvey and Spade just did. Itās safe to talk/joke about vaxxines now, you wonāt be canceled! Cāmon and show us how brave and principled you are!
Agree. They were given permission to "laugh" at the entire episode. I also don't believe this placebo data. It is also part of the psyops. Most vaxxed who haven't had any serious incidents yet will just latch on to the statement regarding placebos. See. I am fine. Placebo. Let's move on and change the subject or narrative.
"Most vaxxed who haven't had any serious incidents yet will just latch on to the statement regarding placebos."
I think you're right. I know a couple of people - my sister, for example - who fear that they are ticking time bombs. Most appear to have rationalized their decision and have chosen to move on as though nothing happened.
A friend of mine from high school got the shot and immediately developed MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome) and it's so severe she can't be more than 15 minutes away from a hospital lest she have an allergic reaction that an epi pen won't help. I shared the Epoch Times interview of Sasha Latypova with her and she wrote me back singing the praises of VAERS and how she's talked to people with VAERS on three occasions. I pointed out that the research indicates different potencies of vaccines were given and she said "I'll have to dig into that article a little more." She didn't even read it. I'd like to send her the Defender article referenced at the beginning of this article but couldn't find it. I'm just going to keep sending her this stuff.
I've had experience with VAERS. The DPT shot killed my firstborn over 30 years ago. I sued the DHHS and won my case. My son is not in VAERS database. VAERS is a farce.
Iām so sorry. What a heartbreaking situation to go through š¢š
It was, but I have to say it made me militantly anti-vaxx, to the point where none of my other children received vaccines while they lived in my home. One of my kids joined the military and submitted to the jab and I just pray for protection and good health. And suggest taking nattokinase. But no one else in my extended family received the clot shot, and for that, I'm extremely grateful. I've been angry for 30 years. I was so trusting when I took him to that appointment. I read the literature so I knew that there was a "chance" that something could happen, but you never think you'll be a statistic. I learned the hard way that that is a silly assumption to make! I've been berated by doctors for refusing to vaccinate my children. I've been ridiculed and ostracized by friends. This added to my anger. Then the pandemic hit and all I can say is, I believe my child's death prepared me for such a time as this. Suddenly, I'm not angry anymore (about his death; I'm still angry that people have been lied to so blatantly for so long). I would never have chosen to go this route, but it's the route God chose for me and I really have peace about it now.
You remind me of this from Clarissa Pinkola Estes, the Catholic Jungian trauma therapist:
"You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement.
I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able vessels in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind.
Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a greater forest. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.

Just beautiful! Hereās an example of the good of technology. I have a very fragile friend, who has suffered some traumas and she keeps herself sick with undeserved guilt. I thought she needs this word and with a few keystrokes I got it to her.
I just saved it to Notes on my iPad and Iām going to send it out far and wide. So encouraging!
It gave me chills to read that! Yes! This is the hope and encouragement we need. We were made for these times and must have them boldly, with courage. It is uplifting to see all those other boats; we are not alone.
Well then! This is surely a screwed up world filled with sorrow and the gnashing of teeth! I never thought I would be 'living' in a world hell bent of the destruction of the most of human kind. And I never thought to see the day when the United States would be the lead dog in an Evil Campaign all-encompassing as great as any Evil recorded in Christian Scripture. And I think there are relatively few people who read your words here today who aren't saying to themselves in one form or another, "Hey! That's me too! That's how I feel now!"
And I don't see getting through this Time of Trials and Tribulation without God ... and knowing that whatever is thrown at us, I'll be alright because my dependence is not of this world but with the Sovereign One Christian God.
This crap is not going to go away by itself. We will have to fight, and fight and fight against the Evil. And Nigel Farage and de-banking? This is today's newest example of Evil Incarnate thrown into our faces. Basically, Consent to Evil and forget about leaving the City of Destruction. Forget that Wicker Gate and Straight and Narrow stuff. In short, 'they' are telling us to abandon Faith in God ... and oh! It's so much easier just to comply. And this makes me angry. Very angry. And oddly I hear Screech Owls shrill voice crying out, "How dare you". The difference though is that the indignation is not scripted.
Fight like the third monkey on the ramp to Noahās Ark!
Willing Spirit - that was quite the word picture!!
I borrowed it from Sundance over at theconservativetreehouse.com
To be discounted must be the worst thing. I cant imagine also how the parents of babies fine one day and autustic the next must feel.
I am assuming that the medical profession feels they must discount for 'the greater good'. However, that is unethical.
I never knew about the DTP. I saw my immunization card from 1957 and I got it.
Today it is DTAP I believe, and it is just as bad, if not worse, I read. Thank God for social media. I told my daughter to not get any for my grandaughter. Every once in a while she seems on the fence despite a pediatrician who asks but doesn't push.
Thank God for friends of theirs with an autistic child who told her and her husband " don't get ANY of them". (sometimes we listen to our peers over our parents).
I think the big problem with vaccines is that it is one of those many things where if you do what everyone else is doing, you feel as if you are somehow a šÆ%
'assimilated' American. We were once quite homogeneous as a culture and human nature and psychology still craves that cultural norm.
I've heard the "greater good" argument as nauseum. It wasn't good for my son. I'm that respect, I don't care about the greater good and neither would any loving, rational parent.
I listened to RFK Jr talk about how the vaccine manufacturers went to Reagan and got their immunity because they were losing money. Reagan told them to make safe vaccines and they told him vaccines are necessarily unsafe. They included that language in the Vaccine Injury Act for justification in shielding vaccine manufacturers from liability. So they're making necessarily unsafe products and then they don't properly test them. And our children are mandated to take them. No, thank you. It was never about the greater good. There are some really evil people holding the reins of power.
I'm sincerely sorry for your loss.
I also have to apologize because I have friends whose son was severely injured by vaccines (he's in his 20's now and needs constant care.) I used to watch his poor father supporting him as they walked down the aisle to Holy Communion, the son struggling mightily and his dad trying to help him.
Although I didn't say anything to anyone at the time, I secretly believed they were mistaken and paranoid about the vax being the cause of his injury. I deeply regret that.
Today I know that the pharma companies are the cause of untold millions of deaths and injuries of unsuspecting parents. Mea culpa
You had no way of knowing. We were born and raised in the freest, best country the world has ever known. It was founded by men who recognized that our rights come from God, not government; that the purpose of government is to secure those rights for us so that we can make the most of our existence. A country like that is amazing. We were amazing. We didn't know that our government broke that contract with us. We didn't ask them to; they had no right and they knew it, so they were sneaky about it. I didn't know about it until my son died. And honestly, even with what I knew about the vaccines, I didn't connect it to any other aspect of life here in the US until very recently. So I've known for a while what many of the issues are with vaccines. But I supported the war in Iraq. I believe that they had WMDs. I believed Oklahoma City was caused by domestic terrorists. I've believed lots of things where I was convinced this country was doing the right thing when I'm fact, the opposite was true. Since the pandemic, I've had my eyes opened about a lot of things. It also has helped to read books like "Witness" by Whittaker Chambers and "The Gulag Archipelago" by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn to realize that I have been utterly clueless about what's going on.
I guess my point is, you had no reason to believe otherwise. Your own experience probably told you that vaccines were safe and effective - they stopped diseases from spreading and your kids were fine. You've gotten a different perspective of the same picture so now some of your beliefs have changed. That's a good thing! The travesty would be to see the picture from your new vantage point and still cling to your old beliefs.
Good bless you!
Thank you for sharing today. And thanks for the book recommendations...just added them to my reading list. Blessings!
The greater good is an unethical and immoral rational for ALL evil. Did any one in the medical field ever sympathize, empathize or apologize for your pain regarding the innoculation?
Again, I am so sorry for your pain and your loss. š
My experience with the medical community has not been great. There was a pediatric neurologist who testified at my son's trial and he was a beam of light in the darkness. My kids briefly had a pediatrician who didn't push, but she retired when they were very small. I took one of my children to see a doctor once because his neck had swollen up so that it was as wide as his face. He had a cough, too. The doctor told me my son had pertussis because I didn't vaccinate him, that there was nothing that he could do for my son, but that he was giving me a prescription for antibiotics to give him because it would protect other children from him! š Pertussis has a very distinct sound. I guess he thought I was such an ignoramus ,I wouldn't know. I stopped talking my children to the doctor unless they were badly injured or very, very sick. For the most part, the medical community was awful.
Having said that, let me say that now, I've seen a bit of a shift among medical professionals. I had to get my blood drawn recently and the nurse confided to me that she was forced to get the shot or lose her job and she's worried what will happen if all the medical professionals get sick now: who will run the hospitals and provide care for the ill and infirm? She's not the only one who has made such comments to me. So this has opened some eyes and minds. I'm learning to count my blessings when and where I find them.
GG sorry for your loss š¢š¢. How old was your son when he passed.
Thatās for sure. We definitely need a reset, but not the one THEYāre talking about. When God does does the real reset, THEY may not like it too much.
So happy for you that your faith has led you to this moment; feeling some of the pain you suffered 30 years ago.
Thank you.
I admire your perspective, courage and wisdom. God bless you.
Thatās so awesome to hear. I lost my first to a heart defect from being exposed to the chemical āSevinā. I applaud you for not being Angry. I was never angry very long because I was young. I pray so much for the families I hear about everyday that lost a child. God Bless you! I pray that God keeps paving a clear path for you and your family!!
I'm so sorry for your loss.
Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.
Your story brought tears, but final sentence did me in....
the journeys that God walks us through in this life can be heart wrenching, and yet -in ways that only He can do - grace and peace show up in abundance. Amazing!
My only regret is that I didn't trust Him sooner. I stayed angry for so long! I'm thankful that He is patient and merciful.
Oh my goodness. How awful - I am sorry. So sad that this shot is still being given in Africa, thanks to Bill Gates. At least that is what RFK Jr said on his Rogan podcast interview.
Iāve been reading for decades about how Africa has been used as this huge testing ground for Gateās experimental vaccines under the guise of ādoing goodā.SPIT!
Interestingly Africa seems to be one of the last places on earth maintaining sanity. Theyāve seen the evil first hand and want to fight it.
Indeed. Africa has been a big part in maintaining some sanity in the global Anglican church recently.
Theyāve been looking good š
Here is the study. https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/eci.13998
So sorry to hear about what you went through. I believe we are reaching a tipping point where somethingās gotta change. Hopefully, with the help of the lawyers working together we can bring the liability back. This will automatically help to correct the issue due to free market forces.
That would certainly give credibility back to a discipline that has about exhausted all it ever had.
I think it's going to take more than lawyers. But I hope you're right!
Sorry for the loss of your son. So heart breaking. šŖ
Sadly, this seems to be the case with so many issues. People get mad, and then they just file it away, shrug, and go back to default setting of ignorance is bliss. In MO we have property taxes, sadly, and they fund about 60% of school budgets statewide, 65% in my county. State law requires reassessment every 2 years. In 2019, the county exec and his team massively hiked values in a reassessment that saw a lot of (red) areas with huge increases, some 100% or more, 22K appeals, delays in statutory deadlines, and even headlines in the liberal local press about prominent D's getting low values, while many others getting screwed. Some had to sell as they could no longer afford their taxes. In 2021 they sandbagged values heading into the 2022 election year (all county offices run every 4 years). Voters totally forgot 2019 and re-elected the County Executive & his minions on the legislature for another 4 years, despite an army of us knocking doors for fiscal conservatives and warning of a tax Armageddon coming in 2023. Out of 9 legislature seats and one County exec, 2 Republicans won. 2023 is here. My value went up 60%, and that is nothing compared to others. My social media feed is filled with nothing but property tax woes posts. Meetings on how to appeal are filled to overflowing (and elected officials notably absent except for 1 of the R's). County estimates 60,000 appeals. One saving grace is the Hancock Amendment that limits taxing jurisdictions windfalls to 5% a year, so levy rates will have to be adjusted, but there are loopholes. People will lose their homes. State bills attempting to reform the system are killed by lobbyists for the teachers union, association cities and counties, and every other taxing jurisdiction lobby. Our city noted in their budget meeting for FY 24 that they have budgeted funds for MORE lobbyists. Interesting. And yet, county elections don't happen again until 2026. Will voters remember???
We had a huge army of volunteers for the 2022 school board elections, people were mad as h*ll about the board behavior during covid, and we got 2 conservatives elected for 2 seats. Three seats were open this Spring, and there were half the number of volunteers. Called, emailed, texted, begged....lots of excuses, but basically, the fire/anger had gone out. The left PAID their door-knockers. Out of town $$. We got one of 3 open seats.
Getting ready for 2024. Have to keep trying, what choice do we have?
This is the problem with succeeding in reducing the criticality of a problem - people aren't as worried, so other things resume their priority in people's lives. Unfortunately, the Left never stops, like we do. School Board seats are okay as a temporizing measure, but they don't change who the teachers are or who run the teacher's colleges, or the regular colleges, or the K-12 system, or what's shown in movies or told as 'news.' The real answer is to get school choice in each state, so people can opt out of the government school system and implode it through lack of students and funds.
I agree about the school board, but then again it is our tax dollars. Getting ready for a levy rate fight, I have learned that the budget for just our district alone has grown $128M in the last 10 years, a 46% increase, while ENROLLMENT HAS BEEN FLAT. (Due to more parents pulling their kids for home school or private - our population has grown 13% in that same time.) And a neighboring school district, with a majority conservative board has stopped at least some of the wokery in its tracks. In a district of 17K students, even if half of them bailed, there is no capacity for them currently if the state manages to pass school choice next year. We currently have a limited choice system, that helps some students but the fight continues. Privates all have big wait lists right now. And our city has limited available open land for development, and it doesn't come cheap, (unless you are an apartment developer and then its tax breaks and red carpet, sadly) so growing the 'choice' part is going to take years to build out capacity.
There are many more ways to educate children than the few you mention, and new private schools would pop up if families had the funds to pay for them. They can take over existing buildings, which do not have to have been built to be schools. It's the free market at work. Micro-schools are one exciting alternative, since they benefit the teachers as much as the students and families. In this model, say 10 families pool their school choice funds to pay a teacher to teach their 10 children. In Florida, that would amount to $80,000. The 'school' could be in a home of a family or the teacher, or rotate between them. Your budget has ballooned because of government; that's what government budgets and bureaucracies do.
BEAUTIFUL goal plan, Fla Mom - preach it every chance you get!
True, mine are grown, so haven't dug into options as much as those with school age kids. Do have friends who are in a home school co-ops run in a couple of local churches, one has 300 kids. MO has fairly lax homeschool regs, but think the teacher pooling you describe is technically not legal, although heard of some creative end-arounds in the shutdowns of 2020 ad 2021 years. I am involved because so goes the schools, so goes the community. Twenty years ago, our school district was the heart of our community. Highly engaged parents, lots of volunteers from the community, support from local businesses, and high academic standards. Home values are higher than districts with failing schools, a lot higher. But politically, lots of inertia and few conservatives paying attention as leftists, who have mastered the long game, infiltrated committees, city council, school boards, etc. I ran for council trying to sound the alarm and lost in 2018. 10% turnout. Two disastrous superintendent hires in a row right after my youngest graduated a decade ago. Race baiting, focus on equity and ignoring discipline issues. Lots of apartments being built, admin looking the other way as students from surrounding failing districts coming in with sketchy residence documents, especially if they are good at sports. Test scores dropping, violence making headlines, and some are bailing for the exurbs. Can't convince hubby to move, so guess we are staying and fighting.
If micro-schools are unlawful currently, work to change the law. You said "so go the schools, so goes the community," and that's exactly why the Left started their highly successful "long march through the institutions" so many years ago. Keeping them as government schools simply keeps them as a fat target. No one can control thousands of parents making private decisions about education, in thousands of forms and venues. It's not just lower grades, either. I have in the past and my husband will be in the upcoming year teaching a group of high school homeschoolers in history, literature, religious doctrine and theology, and logic. When our son was in first grade, neither of us could be home full time, so I taught him on evenings and weekends and my husband did during the times he was neither in class nor teaching. The homeschooling families where I live are mostly single income (and not a very big income - it's a rural area) traditional families, who decided that their children's moral lives and educations were worth whatever it took to keep them out of government schools.
Beautifully shared, Fla Mom!!
Just asking. Do people actually open their doors to door knockers anymore? I canāt really believe the left is getting ahead that way. That they hire people, who will fake things, that I can believe.
But from my viewpoint, in cities anyway, people are not opening their doors to strangers or they live in areas where knocking on someoneās door might get you shot.
I saw this article on how we have to get smarter. It wouldnāt take an army of people out in the heat and hazards of this world.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/06/valentine-how-compute-left-republicans-cannot-fraud-left/
Well yes, we had the case of the teenager supposedly shot just for knocking on an old man's door in KC but I am sure that we have NOT gotten the full story on that one. But yes, people still answer the door. Knocked thousands in the last 5 years, it's great exercise! Maybe as I am a middle aged frumpy white woman who does not look sketchy? I dunno, but it is a numbers game, average about 1 in 4 doors answered if you hit at the right time of day. 4-7 PM and Sunday afternoons are best, except in neighborhoods with a lot of seniors, and then mornings are good. Scribble a handwritten note and leave flyers if no answer. We won in 2022 largely in part due to lots and lots of doors knocked. Hit every pancake breakfast, Chamber/Rotary/VFW lunch or coffee, people hosted meet and greets in their homes and invited neighbors. Money is not there for a major media campaigns, on either side, frankly, we are a suburb of KC and advertising in the wider market like TV and radio is $$$. Social media is fractured and trolls are thick, few under age 50 take the local paper which is a shoestring operation with 6-8 pages once a week. Yard signs and banners were everywhere. Formed a PAC and had volunteers handing out multi-candidate flyers on the back to basics slate of candidates at polling places on election day. City council and school board is still all about the ground game, and to have a ground game, you have to have volunteers. My best efforts we only covered 60% of polls open-close on election day this year. Half as many doors knocked as last year. The 2 who lost, only lost by less than 100 votes. Frustrating as h*ll.
Our state limits mail in voting to those who request a ballot, and it has to be notarized. We do have in person early voting, but limited locations, and voter ID is required at in person voting places. Is this overlooked in blue areas? Likely, there is always clean up to do. The fractal tech sounds really interesting, going to share with our County R Party chairman to see if this is something we can try here.
Thanks for sharing your experience. I know we are smarter than THEM, but weāve got to get it together.
Hereās something to contemplate.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2023/06/valentine-how-compute-left-republicans-cannot-fraud-left/
Valentine is right. As a former database person, agree that we need to use computers & data to expose the fraud ahead of the election!
What part of the metro area are you in? I think our paths must cross at some point.
Lee's Summit
I thought maybe so. Do you go to Tiff N Jayās the fourth Monday each month?
Well, I went to Build our Bench and Dan's presentation this week, but left at 7. I am not on the committee, but have been going to meetings here and there for a couple of years. I ran and lost last year as I didn't really campaign for it, too busy campaigning for everyone else, and frankly kind of glad as much drama as there is.
This was my fourth meeting, much more productive this week and less drama. Iām hoping the friction between the newbies and the old guard is fading.
I would love to meet you at the next one, we fellow C&Cers need to stick together! I am a caretaker for my 84 YO mom and sometimes her issues throw a wrench in my schedule but I have the next one on my calendar. As far as I know I think I am the only semi regular attendee named Donna, so shouldn't be too hard to find me. I think the friction is just on hold for now. Legislature is no longer in session, primaries are still a ways off, so it's the calm before the next storm. Some of the newbies are pretty dang dug in, and the sad part is that while I greatly admire their passion and hard work, they are too idealistic in what we can reasonably accomplish in a blue county and this idea that we cling to the platform like it is the bible flies in the face of 'the real world' that the political process does mean give and take if anything is ever to be accomplished. A pure blood conservative may excite the base but if they lose in November we are wasting our time and money. I like people on both sides of this and it makes me sad that we are fighting amongst ourselves.
Iāll look for you at the next meeting. I usually sit over near the pool table. I think you are right about the newbies, and now I am one as of last meeting. I have hope the relationships will improve. I had an extended conversation with the chairman last month and do see a path forward. But I am new and reality may yet slap me in the faceš
BLESS YOU FOR YOUR "FIRE" IN YOUR BELLY--believe it or not--the Revolution was NOT popular with the majoriety of people living in the 13 colonies...so you can feel assured that you are DOING RIGHT by the progenitors of our once great Constitutional Republic by door knocking, phone calling, e-mailing--WHATEVER IT TAKES to educate the voting public. If people want to be "stuck" in their stupidity''-well the onus is NOT on YOU, Donna.
Aw thanks, just wish I was a better motivator. Many hands make light work.
That was a former pastor's retort when asking for volunteers for "work brigades"--LOL!
I am double vaccinated but didnāt vaccinate my kids. I have been fearful that I may be in same category (ticking time bomb) but then thought that living in the Coastal Elite area might have protected me (they gave us placebos) & maybe they would keep us around since itās 90% Biden voters! Funny the things youāll create in your mind to rationalize regretful decisions! I have neighbors, in their 40ās, who took 5-6 jabs. I donāt really know anyone of them having health issues at this point.
I'm certainly not casting judgment. I work for a big company and I estimate, anecdotally of course, that ninety to ninety-five percent of my colleagues went in for the shots. The company didn't push them but it certainly celebrated those who got them through Linkedin posts and ubiquitous reminders on our work computers.
Only one of my colleagues reported an issue, at least to me. The guy in question felt compelled to inform me every time he got a shot that he had a bad reaction. I counted five all told, including the bivalent booster.
Well and time frame mattered. When they first came out, my hubby, who is more trusting and optimistic than me, said, oh yeah, I will probably get the shot when my turn comes. A few months into it, he changed his mind (I helped a little, lol). I am not 'mad' at anyone who took the shot, but do have choice words for those who took the shot and then advocated that their choice be forced on others or threatened or disparaged those with a different viewpoint. My daughter in law was an early jab, nurse and Type 1 diabetic, got hers in Jan and Feb 2021 and had an appendicitis 10 days after her second jab, but doesn't believe the 2 things were related. My mom had a lot of skin issues/rashes/hives for 2 months following her second jab and her doc told her not to get any more. But those are the only issues I know of, half or so family and extended family got the shot. So guess we are lucky so far. But I do pray, can't hurt.
Did you have any of the initial side effects like fever, feeling lousy, etc. which they said ' is a good sign that your immune system is fighting'. I ask because I remember so many of my coworkers having that
Xx
Just testing, since Iām blocked from liking your comment?
I hope all of the vaxxed will just pray they got saline and live their lives to the fullest. Out of a large family I only have two, who fell prey. Because of pushback, I donāt think they went beyond the first one. I just pray it was saline and leave it to God.
The extreme difference in batches to adverse events is well documented, so I am not certain what you do not believe. I can only think of one other posssible explanation, which is did some large lots, say distributed to major hospitals, run into an eviroment where advese events were simply suppressed? Why do we not have the exact data say on Kaiser, or how many VAERS reports they filed, and so on for every hospital and hospital chain?
However if placebo lots were given, that also is vital information to know, and, like willful suppresion of adverse events, a crime.
You are correct that COVID 2023 policy is very different then in 2020 and 2021. https://open.substack.com/pub/anderdaa7/p/covid-policy-2020-vs-2023-and-prophylactics?r=slvym&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
"They do not want to show the complete failure of the vaccines, (now that most are vaccinated)
They do not want folk to know and understand the incredible variety of vaccine harms and viral harms, despite the fact that COVID has a low C.F.R. (The spike, in the virus or produced from the vaccine, is going to spike, or cause a wide variety of adverse affects.)
The Association of those effects with either the vaccine, or the likely man made virus, is being actively hidden.
And so most heart issues and all the varied VAERS harms, are falsely portrayed as being neither vaccine related, or COVID related. They treat the direct symptoms only, and now code for that. They do not keep records of VAERS illness and mortality, vaccinated versus un-vaccinated.
They also want to hide the cause of S.A.D.S excess mortality.
They do not want people to consider what is most likely a man made G.O.F. virus, to be dangerous."
Why now does it come out? Oh now they discovered 30% placebos. Hmm. I do not trust anything that comes out of the compromised lying media. They were given permission to post it.
I remember the analysis of Biden being immunized and how many said the syringe was pulled in a way where he got nothing, or something to that effect. I always wondered why he didn't get the initial 'sick' side effects. There was so much sketchiness around the entire thing. I heard somewhere that notes were seen on boxes of certain batches like 'African-American', etc.
A black fiend of mine from Cleveland said they tried to go to a clinic to get the shot and were told to go to a different location for the shot because they were black. So...different shots for different folk. It's just a huge controlled experiment on the American people. They are tracking everything and the next time they will refine the program based on these results.
Oh, and get this. They went ahead and got the shot. Duh!! The alarm bells should have been going off. People are just stupid.
Yeah, thatās really duh! I guess they figured they would get the best, because of slavery and all.
One of the issues w/ vaccines is the one-size-fits-all. Canāt remember if it was RFKās book or Dissolving Illusions which pointed out that blacks respond differently that whites to such meds. They were being critical that the med bureaucracy not taking that in account.
Just as blacks need more Vit. D3 than whites bc their skin doesnāt absorb it from sunshine as whites. Also weight; a tiny grandmother get the same dose as a 300lb. athlete??
Another variable is where the toxin went into oneās body. If the nurse/doc/whoever didnāt aspirate to make sure a vein wasnāt penetrated the spike protein would go right in to the recipientās bloodstream. The writer abt this said that observing many videos of vax sites (remember the drive-in, get your shot, drive off?) he didnāt notice many shot givers taking the step of aspirating.
So much wrong in all this from the get go.
One year ago today a longtime friend, fit as a fiddle (other than developing a/fib after shots) collapsed suddenly. Passed away about a week later. SADS
Lots of variables, yes. And Iām amazed at how Iām meeting a lot of new people lately and hearing about their physical conditions, chronic illnesses is nuts.
I do appreciate my hippie days with the emphasis on eating right. Not the free love stuff. Love cost the only begotten Son of Godās life. It aināt free.
I do hope they were outraged! And asked some serious questions.
Annie, I well understand the skeptcism, yet this information has been out for sometime, just not in a peer review report AFAIK. Consider that much is coming out lately, including numerous immune suppression results from the vaccine. While the "March through the Institutions" is real, it is not omnipotent, (it is a big world) and this report will make folk upset, especially the millions (globally) that got COVID after the vaccine, real harmful, or placebo, and have had a wide variety of illness from COVID. Also no one likes being lied to.
Exactly right. ALL adverse events were and are being vigorously suppressed. Doctors will not report events in VAERS because they would be fired from the hospital if they did so. A family friend who is a RN at a local hospital for 2 decades has seen people come in for the shot at the hospital and die before even getting out of the parking lot or develop problems soon after getting home and dying while on route back to the hospital. NONE of these events were reported in VAERS.
If people knew the full extent of death and disability from the shots, there would be a violent revolution in this country. The amount of carnage is beyond our imagination.
They knew from the start that the vax was harmful and would not prevent anyone from getting sick. So makes you wonder---exactly why were they so desperate to get everyone vaccinated....?
I am wondering whether they live in blue-city metropolitan area. Salinity, USA?
Unfortunately, that is how this is going to work. I will bet that's how it worked with the Good Germans as well. Now that it's becoming safer, more mainstream people will come out. They will pretend like they were always against. Some will pretend like they were vocally against it. Then, we will reach a tipping point where it seems everyone was against it, no one actually wore any masks or pressured any others to take these drugs. We need to keep pushing to move the Overton window, though. It's not enough that it be exposed as an overreaction, a lie, or a mistake. It was worse than any of those. And we have an opportunity to make the Democrat brand at least as toxic as the Iraq war made the Republican brand.
Great comment.
Agree 100%. That is why I admire FL comedian JP Sears; heās been vocal about covid lies from the start!
I would have loved for the funny folks to publish sooner, but it does feel so good to be able to laugh and make fun of the bull crud finally.
Yeah, sorry but this is bullshit. Isn't Dana Carvey the one who was profiting off Fauci impersonations on fucking Colbert, the dancing propagandist? From a Zoom link? Totally okay with the lockdown, obviously. Totally okay with the party line, a paid fucking jester? All these celebs who sat tight, didn't say anything, I have no respect. None. Because THEY had the money to walk away, unlike so many others, who did not, and so felt they could not, and so got coerced inot jabbing or masking or testing bc wanting to support a fam, or keep a job they loved. Then there were those who had no money, so safety net, but walked away anyway, taking that risk. Like I did. Did I say coward already? I'll say it again. I don't care how funny. They. Are. Fucking. Cowards. Djokovic one of the only ones that gets it, if we have to be impressed by a famous person.
You're not wrong, actually.
Funny, I saw one of her tweets last night and suspected the same thing. There is another guy responding in similar fashion (super racist about how āDem Blacks behave ā..,) and both accounts appear parody/fake to me. Both list āVolunteer for Obama/Biden Administrationsā as their jobs, etc.
Thanks for posting this. I was getting ready to compile a summary.
Late yesterday was the first day this week that we in Wisconsin could go outside because the air quality was so bad. The way it came through doesn't make sense for wildfire smoke. Something just doesn't add up.
Yeah, Iām not buying it either. I told my husband that the news reminds me of the early Covid days when we were subjected to video of people in china dropping dead in the street. I donāt trust this for a minute. Something is being done purposely.
In turn, he offered a good suggestion. Are there any real-time satellite views of these supposed wildfires? Iām guessing not...š”
I just said the same thing to my husband! Where are the pictures of all these wildfires? People who get all their info from the msm keep saying, ā80 million acres burning.ā āSo far north in the Canadian wilderness they canāt get equipment up there to fight itā āFirst the fires were in Quebec, now magically in Ontario.ā āSo dry up there, itās a tinderboxā, despite heavy rain storms going through. The dead giveaway, the air doesnāt smell like woodsmoke, smells like plastic burning. Very much like the media blanketing when CoVid was dropped.
https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/usfs/map/#d:24hrs;@-99.9,39.1,4z
Well, ain't that just so interesting! A wildfire band straight across the whole blooming country. And the Wash-Oregon border, New Mexico, Arizona, Texas--but surprisingly, I cannot see any along the East Coast north of the Georgia N Carolina border. Isn't that peculiar? Makes me think once again of Catherine Austin Fitts hypothesis (expressed after the Floyd 'mostly peaceful protests' which destroyed so much inner city real estate) of a real estate grab. I had wondered this a.m. if these CA fires might be related to enabling the extraction of more of Canada's huge mineral wealth, especially on the territory of "First Nations People"--maybe also (isn't my shiny hat attractive? 100% pure aluminum--no alloys involved) preparation for 15 minute cities.
I just viewed your link and all I saw was little š„ pics all over Canada supposedly showing thermal hot spots? I am tempted to say, āBig whoopā. If anything, all these little š„ across Canada make me more suspicious that we are being gaslit by our governments again.
Good point. You might watch "MrMBB333" channel on YT, the self-described "earth watchman". He posts many reports / stories on weather / forest fires / UAPs and the like, and seems pretty credible.
Nothing is credible when it does not pass the gut test. My gut told me CoVid was a set up, J6, a set up, the Ukraine most definitely a set up, and many more, āthis is insaneā acts weāve been forced to swallow.
If youāre Christian thatās God given discernment. Comes from submersion in his Word over time.
Agree. Anything from a US agency is suspect.
That symbol says it means fires covering >1,000 acres.
I understand this but I still have not seen one actual picture of the fires burning in eastern Canada. Considering how easy it is to fool everyone with fake pictures, (remember all the pictures of stacked up bodies in Italy and NYC), one would think they would at least spread some of those around, but not even trying, which makes me more suspicious.
And I agree, we should be skeptical of everyone and everything these days.
well it does have reports of active fires.
Here's another that I've liked to use
https://www.fireweatheravalanche.org/fire/
But ok it's not like it is live pictures
Exactly!
I question EVERYTHING these days .
I mentioned early on on this story (Quebec at that time) that normally Twitter would be full of random people filming & sharing. I did not see a single first hand account.
We so think alikeā¦
yes there are. Go to the NASA website.
smells like plastic burning up here in Ontario
We are in northwest Ohio and it has smelled like rubber and plastic burning. Iāve had many, many people comment the same thing to me. This isnāt wildfires burning. Plus someone in another county south of us posted pictures of lots of dead fish and many in the process of dying. Something is really going on here. Others commented that they grew up in California and when there were wildfires you would smell smoke like wood burning, not plastic and rubber. The criminality in all this is mind boggling.
Smells like rubber and plastic here in Detroit too, but I was in Petaluma, which is the staging area for fire personnel in CA as it doesn't burn, during the CA fires and the air was really chemically and very unhealthy. In that case though it was often wildland/urban interfaces burning, so all the insulation and possessions and building materials in the homes were burning as well as wood. Does make one wonder what is really going on. It might be urban/wildland interfaces and the tentacled leviathan of the MSM is using it to nanny state us and program us for more lockdowns due to what? Pacific Cascadia blowing? Yellowstone volcano? Interdimensional aliens setting things on fire lol ? Nukes? They are up to something, that is axiomatic lol.
Here are a couple of theories:
https://youtu.be/T3YS-hDsliQ
Here in the N E GA / western NC mountains, the haze is fairly thick, and smells distinctly like wood burning.
Interesting that it can smell differently that far south. Not one person weāve spoken to in our area/state has said they smell smoke. You have to wonder what is really going on and with the evil coming out of our governments these days, its anyones guess.
NW VA: Thick haze that doesn't smell like wood fire. There's a chemical tinge to the air and many have developed headaches and dizziness in my county.
GA piedmont here -- it's faint, but the smell I picked up smelled like wood.
Its really not unusual for forest fires to smell like something besides a campfire sometimes
I remember about 10 years ago experiencing a few hours of smoke from a fire in Wisconsin that smelled like burning garbage. It mellowed out to campfire smell a few hours later
Moody, Alabama (near Birmingham) had a long smoldering fire supposedly at a landfill; old tires burned & caused people to be ill.
I was back in the Detroit area a few weeks ago and it was surreal. Tiny white flakes were observable in the air (I thought I was nuts but my level-headed son confirmed it).
Having had regular forest fire air quality issues in Wa state since 2015, white flakes in the air are a regular occurrence
Same in Cali ā¦white flakes all over cars .
Crazy. What do you think it is?
No idea. Growing up in the Detroit suburbs, it wasn't unusual to have air quality issues stemming from the factories downriver. However, I don't recall seeing flakes in the air.
Gotcha....it could be that since there is so much air pollution already, the particulates are combining. Who knows. Why I'm detoxing as much as possible with diatomaceous earth, fulvic acid, and staying hydrated more than ever.
diatomaceous earth. Can that be food grade. Certainly not to be inhaled.
Food grade bentonite clay is something to consider. Fill your glass with water, have a mini whisk at hand, put a teaspoon of clay into the water and whisk like the dickens for about 30 seconds, then drink it right down.
If you put the clay in first and pour water on top of it, youāll get Play-Doh. Multiple external and internal uses. Stops mosquito bite itch almost instantaneously.
Goes into the intestines to detox and plug leaky gut holes.
Iām using that and MSM (organic sulfur) to cure my long, long running acid reflux and itās working!
All apple cider vinegar (which obviously works wonders for some) did for me was make the hurting worse.
Makes sense as our ancestors would also drink water with clay, back when the water wasn't totally polluted. I've taken bentonite and don't mind the taste. Didn't know about the mosquito bite thing though! Wow. Apparently there's also green clay from France that works very well, haven't tried that yet. Where did you get the MSM?
Where I get everything, Amazon. But I tracked down the supplier online and got a subscription going there as well. I donāt want supply chain issues interrupting my treatment. Iām sure any good natural supplements store would have it. But Iāve lived 72 years, have bought tons of supplements and am just now learning about this one.
https://mountainwellbeing.com/product/organic-sulfur/
Bentonite Clay, hydrated, is with me at all times. Fantastic for cuts or any skin issue. My dog accidentally got her tooth down my cuticle when playing with a ball and it started to get infected. Paste of hydrated Bentonite Clay held in place with plastic wrap pulled the infection right out. Husband cut his hand on glass and thought he might need stitches. Kept it wrapped in bentonite clay for a few days and healed beautifully with minimal scarring.
Iām a believer! I havenāt, thank God, had any wounds to deal with, but I will confidently apply when needed. I think I read someoneās report that they used it to draw out spider venom.
Does it have to be in the paste form to work for a mosquito bite?
Yes, I have a tiny little scoop and dump a bit into my palm and add a few drops of water. Makes fabulous face mask and can be put into the bath to detox externally as well. Good for hair, good for skin, so many uses that I havenāt even explored yet.
I keep a quart jar of hydrated clay on hand at all times. It keeps forever, so why not have it made and ready to go? :)
Do you drink the bentonite clay on an empty stomach, or does it matter?
Yes. Recommended is take immediately upon rising and wait 30 minutes before taking in food or other supplements. I do that and after 30 minutes I do the Bentonite and let that work for an hour before taking other supplements. The Bentonite is only once daily. The ORGANIC sulfur (I use powder or crystals) is three times daily.
I seldom eat before noon. So about midafternoon I do the second dose. Then when I get the first thoughts about eating again, I do dose #3 and by the time I get my dinner prepared, the 30 minutes of waiting time are over.
Hereās some information Iāve used.
From Dr. Axe
Improves Digestive Problems
MSM can help rebuild the lining of the digestive tract and lower inflammatory responses in response to allergic reactions to certain foods.
Itās also useful for helping treat leaky gut syndrome since it can help stop particles from leaching out the gut through small junction openings, where they can enter the bloodstream and ignite an inflammatory response. This is due in part to the sulfur in an MSM supplement, which is important for digestion.
Additionally, MSM supplements seem to help treat hemorrhoids, according to studies. Applying a gel containing MSM along with tea tree oil can reduce pain and swelling caused by hemorrhoids (swollen blood vessels of the rectum that make it hard to go to the bathroom without pain or bleeding).
Bentonite Clay
Gut Detox 1 tsp. of clay 2-4 oz. of water.
Directions Take internally for a full gut detox. Mix 1 tsp. of clay with 2-4 oz. of water. Shake well. Drink mixture once daily.
*For best results use for 8 weeks as a daily detox regime
Sorry, if itās a little graphic š«¤
And it has pretty much eliminated all my joint pain and Iāve had rheumatoid arthritis for many years! It really has worked so well for me.
Thanks! I've had leaky gut for years and stick to a pretty strict diet, but I've never tried this so I'll definitely give it a try. I'd also read about using L-glutamine to heal the gut and I'm currently trying that. I've heard of bentonite clay for years and actually have some but never gave it a good try. Do you mind saying what brand of MSM supplement you use? It caused stomach upset in the past so I gave up on it. Although MSM alone is highly recommended for joint pain. Thanks again for all the info. And Dr. Axe is good.
I drink it first thing or last thing at night. You want to take it away from food so that it can work on your gut.
Right.
Thanks! Do you prefer DE or bentonite clay? and what's the difference?
Yes. Empty stomach. So for an hour and a half in the morning, I give the ORGANIC sulfur 30 minutes to process, then the Bentonite clay gets an hour before ingesting anything else.
I should say, the sulfur is bitter, but after a few weeks, I hardly even notice it. In the beginning I would have a glass of plain water to drink right after the sulfur. Now I still drink the water, but not in a panic.
And you should drink plenty of water with these products, but Iāve always drank plenty of water and havenāt had to change my habits.
Really doesnāt taste like anything but murky water.
Yes for certain. I take food grade, 1 tsp per day. Here's a decent site with sources: https://www.theprairiehomestead.com/2014/01/diatomaceous-earth-homestead.html
Ever seen a forest fire up close??? They produce WHITE FLAKES of ash...
I'm not saying ALL flakes are ash... But in the case of forest fires, they can produce white ash flakes. (Grew up in Florida where there are control burns regularly).
Could there have been a local fire in addition to the wildfires??
I have noticed a smoky haze the last few days here in Savannah GA ?
The bad air is pretty bad right now here in N. GA.
There is nothing ānormalā about this . Makes me wonder where that missing 60,000 lb shipment of ammonium nitrate went?
Taken from post on Twitter : āWhat does ammonium nitrate do to the atmosphere?
As ammonium nitrate explodes, it produces massive amounts of pollutant gases, including nitrogen dioxide, nitrous oxide and ammonia. Nitrogen dioxide, for example, is extremely toxic, while nitrous oxide is a potent greenhouse gas, having about 300 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.ā
Scary isnāt it ?
Sounds like a plausible theory and yes, scary. I was in CA during the bad fires where it looked like you were on Mars all day, dark and red. I had never experienced anything like that before and this is very, very odd for Georgia. Even after all of these recent storms and lots of wind here it is remaining very smokey. It also seems odd that the smoke is being blown South.
Thanks Roman--have daughter and family of four ( doubled in just one day by twins delivered two weeks ago today!) up there in Ont's BIG city. But she's so busy with these new lives that we've heard from her only twice in these two weeks.
Wow! Congratulations Via!!!!
Would you be at all surprised to learn that she and husband did NOT take the "vax"?
Good job! Way to keep the family together š
Many thanks!
Hazy/smoggy in Lancaster PA. Doesnāt smell like wood burning. My friend insists it smells like plastic.
Honestly - I live in Lancaster area - I didn't smell anything unusual - it is hazy - but not "smoky/hazy"--just cloudy (I live about 18 miles WEST of Lancaster proper.
Same in Chicago. I chatted with a Canadian actually who used to work in forestry who told me the west has been battling these wildfires for years and itās only now since itās affecting the Midwest/east that we care. They wonāt do anything about them. I was shocked she even didnāt think that maybe something else is going on because sheās always f-the government and spoke openly against the vaccines. She did mention her account got suspended and didnāt know why so she had to ask Facebook to reinstate it, so maybe sheās now paranoid to tell the truth on there.
Yep, we on the west coast have been dealing with this for years. The really bad one in Oregon three years ago did smell acrid, but houses did burn.
Maybe now somebody will listen. Pacific Power and Light finally, recently, took blame for the fire 3 years ago. PGE was charged in the Camp fire near Chico Ca.
There are many rumors that the Camp fire was deliberately started by operatives. I saw a lot of footage about that, but of course itās something we canāt talk about, you know, conspiracy theory or hate speech. š”
If you canāt tell the truth on Facebook, why would you ever have an account???
Bingo!
I agree. The level weāre seeing here in West MI is unbelievable. Itās like thereās a house on fire in the neighborhood that is just allowed to burn. We had a wild storm last night and I thought it would blow the smoke away. Nope. It was just as bad, if not worse this morning. Itās curious.
Mid Michigan, east side and YES!
This beekeeper fellow investigated the plastic smell and found:
"The forest fire smoke goes up into the atmosphere, and UV light from the sun is causing a chemical process to turn it into formaldehyde and benzyne. Benzyne causes cancer at 4 parts per billion."
https://twitter.com/dc_flake/status/1674542373618044929 70 sec video
I appreciate your research, but not buying it. The upper Midwest has been dealing with these Canadian wildfires for over 6 weeks now. Winds early on from the north and NE were bringing it down, fires in Quebec. Winds and rains now out of the south and west and still smoke. Somehow the smoke is filtering down and getting caught in the jet stream. Not buying any of it.
Have to agree as I've lived with brush fires (in the chaparral) and forest fires (in the local mountains) for my entire life in Southern California, there's at least one or two big ones every year. They have never smelled like anything other than a campfire.
So they need to explain why this is different. Perhaps it's needs to get higher in the atmosphere for this reaction to occur hence the long distance travel to southern parts of the US. But people in Ontario and Michigan are saying the same thing and they aren't that far away.
The days of some egghead handwaving away something completely new and unusual as innocuous are long gone. They lost that trust and will never get it back.
Laurie,
Iām with you!
My husband said āitās the jet streamā and I said it makes no sense. I think people WANT to believe these silly āexplanationsā because WHY would our governments want to kill us, the wildlife, etc.
But, we can always count on government to over play their hand.
I'm seeing people dispute the wind patterns. Like in TX they're seeing this, and there's no way it's the jet stream doing that.
I did a quick DuckDuckGo search. Raw (recent results) search seems to back that theory up. Changed the dates to only include results from the years 1995-2000. The only links showing up with regards to smoke turning into formaldehyde are questions about cigarettes and vapes. So, I don't buy this at all.
By raw search, I mean recent results.
Good sleuthing.
https://firms.modaps.eosdis.nasa.gov/usfs/map/#d:24hrs;@-99.9,39.1,4z
I could make a map like that as well. Whereās the video? We saw a guy jump from space but they canāt show satellite imagery?
BOOM. Please pay no attention to that man behind the curtain.
Looks like we should all move to NEWFOUNDLAND or the DAKOTAS--HAH!!
No. Just, no.
Too bad we canāt just use wind turbines to blow this all back to Canada.
Andrea,
Iām thinking these āwildfiresā are the ānewā chemtrails.
I agree, it makes no sense. I live in northern CA and they showed the fires burning. They really think weāll believe ANYTHING. š”
Yeah the air quality numbers are bad with a haze in the air in the TN valley today too. But we are also under a heat advisory. So many people on the news are hyperventilating about the heat--like itās abnormal for this time of the year. Cmon, people! Itās summertime in the South! Nothing abnormal about temps in the 100s at all. Heck, I think it was an abnormally mild April and May--for which I am extremely grateful--cuz usually the heat starts in one of those months.
There have only been 10 days where the high has passed 100 in Knoxville since 1990. Note that most of these are associated with heatwaves in 2012 and 2007.
2012-07-01, 2012-06-30, 2012-06-29, 2007-08-23, 2012-06-28, 2007-08-16, 2007-08-24, 1995-08-16, 1993-07-28, 1993-07-08.
Investigate the data yourself. https://xmacis.rcc-acis.org/
It's not unheard of, nor is it accurate to say there is no historical precedent for these -- the 1950s and 1930s had a few 100 degree days, with the 1930s literally being famous for being a stupidly hot and dry decade (dust bowl, anyone?)
But it's inaccurate to say that 100 degree days are "nothing abnormal". It's definitely unusual.
I respect your data dive. In retrospect, my comment is derived from my past which was mostly lived in Texas. Much hotter summers there than the TN valley where I live now.
Yeah I lived in Corpus Christi for three years. 100 degree days there? Irritating but not that weird. Heck during that 2012 heatwave that pushed the thermometer to 100 in Knoxville (I grew up in Knoxville), Corpus had 26 days in a row with temps over 100. Thank god for the sea breeze otherwise it would have been completely awful.
Yeah, I grew up in Houston. What a hot, humid mess it was. We didnāt have the luxury of a sea breeze. When I married a career Army aviator and we would change duty stations, I would always ask someone from that duty station about the weather there. If they said it was humid, I would always ask, āHouston humid?ā If they just stared at me, I knew they had never experienced Houston humidity. Youāll never sit in a steam sauna (or understand why others do) if youāve spent any time in Houston. Also spent 4 years stationed at Fort Hood in the late 90s. I just looked up the historical summer data for nearby Waco for July 1998, and it was 100+ for 28 days that year. Whew! Just roasting! Donāt miss it!
This is why Texas and Florida pioneers were the toughest of the tough. No AC, earliest days no real windows or screens to keep the bugs out. Rattle snakes, water moccasins, gators (in Florida anyway), panthers, wild cats, bearsā¦those were some strong people. And Iām proud to be a descendant from both places.
My paternal grandpa (I never saw him-he would have been 90 something by the time I was born) was the product of a short lived marriage.
Story was a widower from Texas decided to relocate to the Florida Panhandle with several children. He met and met a widow with several children, my great grandmother. It didnāt work out because of apparently serious disputes between the children and the Texans went back to Texas. After that my grandpa was born. 1850s, I think. He never laid eyes on his pa and had to support himself and his widowed mother from an early age, as the siblings all drifted off. A very early age, working at a grist mill, grinding corn into meal and was largely paid in cornmeal. His mother tied rags onto his feet in the winter because he had no shoes. He never went to school and was illiterate.
At some point he received a letter with instructions from Texas saying the father had died and he was in the will. He didnāt go. It was too far to travel. Horse and buggy, stagecoach days.
He had landed a really good job supervising a turpentine still, destroying the virgin pines that covered north Florida, stretching from Pensacola in the west to Jacksonville in the east.
Nothing good had come thus far fro Texas and he saw no need to go. Who knows what wouldāve been there?
And married a widow. My grandpa was legitimate and carried his fatherās name.
And we think we have it hard.
Very interesting family history! My momās family came from west Texas. Her dad owned a horse and cattle ranch. They were all tough as nails. My dad came from a large family (he was one of 10 kids) of sharecroppers. He was 1/8 Cherokee. Mom and dad were raised to be resilient and taught us kids to be so as well. But I never learned to fry chicken or can vegetables--some skills I may wish I had learned if the apocalypse materializes soon. Haha!
We have grit!
I am in western Wisconsin where they air smells like burnt plastic.
Some good speculation on Really Graceful, here:

Here's to hoping the ruling on religious discrimination moves things along. My fire dept. fired 300 years of combined service in one day. Everyone one of us had a signed and approved religious exemption. We even had signed approved accommodations until the mayor reversed and denied them all. No surprise our city, Redmond WA is Microsoft world hq...
I hope you are suing.
I hope you are moving out of WA state soon.
Once I was terminated we left.
I live in Ohio.
Trying, courts and city keep moving things.
Scott, many in Redmond, Kirkland, and Bellevue fought hard for you guys. We protested, spoke in city council meetings, and pooled our resources to help serve common lawful notices to mayors and city council members on camera. They thumbed their noses at us and you just like our great governor thumbed his nose at the tens of thousands of notarized affidavits that were physically delivered to him. WA state is completely lawless. They have arbitrarily fired every person of conscience from city boards, Healthcare, elections, education, and EMS. They have gone rogue from any pretense of following the laws of the United States of America. What do we do about it?
Great job fighting and thank you. Going forward I'd really examine who's elected. In Redmond mayor Birney is up for reelection. Jaralee is a council member who tried to oppose Birneys actions.
Good job fighting, keep it up.
"All that is necessary for evil to win is for good men to do nothing"......
I live in Redmond. I grieve in my core for how this city has been taken over by power- and money-hungry politicians. I would bet that Microsoft granted lots of dollars to the City to replace the non-vaxxed. MS has ruined the look of Redmond.
Agreed. It's sad. We worked 18 months w/o the vax being available. We zero cross contamination, 100% success. I was our safety chair, head of health and wellness, Lieutenant and EMS instructor. The moment the vax was available we went from heroes to zeros. No change in environment, calls or PPE just the availability of the shot made my coworkers and mayor say things like " let the hunger games begin", " if you get sick you don't deserve a bed". They divided the fire family.
It's still shocking to think about the dark period that we just lived through, and that for some, continues. I want to surround myself with people like you and your strong colleagues & families who stood by your beliefs and principles. The absolute mind-blowing scene of watching the good guys like yourself being called the bad ones was truly dystopic. I'm lucky to be employed.....I was gonna be shown the exit had Biden's vaxx "orders" for private employers made it through. The people in Redmond and this area seem to believe in the religion of Science....they may not realize it, but it is truly a religion (they have faith in and believe in doctors, textbooks, the mainstream media, politicians, NASA, etc). May you be very blessed in the long run.
Greetings from Union Hill!
Thatās where I live as well. š
Awesome! I love this part of Redmond. We used to live in Sammamish until we moved here, and I always knew that somehow we'd end up at Union Hill whenever we next moved from there.
That was so wrong!

Well Jeff, you've opened a new subject of inquiry with the demonic attention. Here is a book a few C&C folk might find of interest. In 1986, Dr. Gary North published a 426 page book titled, "Unholy Spirits: Occultism and New Age Humanism". North was a Calvinist Reformed scholar and publisher who held a PhD in economics. He was a protege and son-in-law of R J Rushdoony, father of Christian Reconstructionism.
In Unholy Spirits, North argues that the fundamentals of humanism are identical with the basics of Satanism. Paraphrasing the dust jacket, the philosophy of humanism does not prevent a radical new class of scientists from opening up a Pandora's box of satanic experimentation which could change the way we live. As CS Lewis wrote in "The Screwtape Letters", when the materialists believe in demons but not in God, the battle is over.
With the explosion of the occult in America beginning in the early 1960's, "Not only has humanism laid us open for a spiritual onslaught the likes of which we have never seen, but modern scientific thought is in the midst of an epistemological and spiritual crisis from which it may never recover. Revolutionary changes are coming in society and in the laboratory. ...the merger between the lab, the demonic and the humanist may be the most ungodly alliance ever forged."
Bear in mind these words were published in 1986. When I first read these word in 1986, I never imagined how prophetic his thesis was and I certainly never imagined the horror that we are now witness to. Only now do I fully appreciate the insight that Gary North had and recorded in this book.
In a low circulation newsletter North published, he said that for the whole time this manuscript was on his computer, he was constantly plagued with computer glitches and failures. When the manuscript was finally removed from his computer, the glitches ceased happening. I lost my original copy of this book but I was able to replace it with a purchase off of Amazon. It's an easy, well written read of a difficult subject.
Found it in PDF form on his website.
Thanks Jeff. I was unaware.
https://www.garynorth.com/public/7501.cfm
Thanks, Jeff. I would recommend this to all.
I just read the Introduction of Northās book. Itās as if I was reading a biography of the very early years of my life. All the familiar phrases, peopleās names, book titles, Herman Hesse! (Iād forgotten about him), pop songs and albums, (A phrase that struck a note: āKennedyās death on November 22, 1963 was in fact the death rattle of the older rationalism.ā), listening to tunes the words of which had no real meaning to me but sounded dreamy, experiences of daily life and all the news fit to print.
Thinking back to those times, I remember wondering where all those ideas were coming from. I was puzzled. I havenāt changed my mind.
The passage of time produced the children of those times, perhaps the grandchildren, bringing back a more sophisticated evil. A wild gene at work.
A thought came to me that maybe I am a closet Calvinist.
"A thought came to me that maybe I am a closet Calvinist."
LOL LOL I know I have a warped sense of humor but THAT is funny! Who knew, right? And I say that as a Calvinist. It's like all these Democrats finding out that they are not really Democrats.
šTruly. Sometimes I feel rather singular in the way I view things with some of my friends. It's a kind of query. "Can't you see that??" And that's just the secular facets of life. I get very peculiar looks when I start blathering on about how I feel lead. So nice to hear someone else feels the same way.
There's another book my mother studied in the 80s called "The Hidden Dangers of The Rainbow" and it was all about the rise in occultic practices in America. I've thought several times that I should get ahold of that book and give it a read. I'll add "Unholy Spirits" to that list as well.
'a simple, straightforward idea: there are unexplained events in this world. There are events which cannot, by their nature, be explained by the standards of contemporary rationalistic science."
Well thank you. (and he studied at Westminster, a mere 6-7 miles from my house)--because this encourages me publicallyl to admit (confess?) that for the 35.75 years we have lived in this house (approaching 200 years of age), we have --all of us in the family--but me to the greatest extent--experienced things which we cannot explain. Given that we as a family tend to the empirical (and husb is a physicist) we have jokingly assigned a 'name' to these experiences, accept them as real but inexplicable. Years ago, son-in-law, Anglican priest, did put on his robes and walk through every room, blessing it--and the incidents diminished or disappeared for quite a while.

This comment about the monument being a portal, made me think.... is that why pedo-joe won't let them do fireworks there? ???
I think he is just opposed to anything that inspires or celebrates American patriotism.
The rise of occult in America beginning in the early 1960s? Occultism was enormously widespread during the Victorian era, with seances and fortune telling being popular pastimes.
These Died Suddenly lists just go on and on. I follow several sites that list them.
The numbers are picking up, not slowing down!
Could you please link to the very best and reliable sites that list them? I would like to send them to a family member if I can get a good one that looks legit. Every day I talk to my mom she comments on my dad's new health problems (blood disorder issues) and says, "I just wish we knew WHY he has these problems!!" and I just have to remain silent because they're SUCH pro-jab people who took all 5 boosters. But I was able to help my mom better understand the transgender problem in kids with very good and specific, concrete real-life examples and I think in this case there's a small possibility she would listen if presented with something like that.
The problem with educating the 5+ poked people is that there is no cure. Especially those who are already experiencing health issues. So educating them could be extremely bad for their mental health. Those who were so afraid of getting the common cold are going to be devastated by what theyāve done. I have decided to love them through their ignorance about the gene therapies and educate them on topics such as child abuse, trafficking, grooming and the like. They canāt afford to believe you about the juice.
I'm not sure it's true that there's no cure. Sure, not in mainstream medicine-- they never cure things anyway. But there are several protocols out there for treating covid vaccine injuries. The hard part is getting people to face that this is what is happening to them and to actually try to treat the root cause.
There's the detox protocols.
https://worldcouncilforhealth.org/resources/spike-protein-detox-guide/
https://covid19criticalcare.com/protocol/i-recover-post-vaccine-treatment/
Thank You for imparting knowledge on us folks.
That was my thought. Maybe just trying to introduce some of the detoxing products as something that would help with the issues that are cropping up.
I agree. The time for action was when the jabs were first introduced and I tried with some family, friends, and some acquaintances. They really psychologically can not go there, so why even bring it up?
I got my son and his fiancƩ to NOT take any boosters. I just keep praying they are both clear of any other health problems.
Educating over-two-poked individuals is tricky - want to give them enough info to quit taking more boosters, but don't as you said want them to obsess over what they've allowed into their body.

Oh thanks! I had only to read a few more comments and here you were!
Based Florida Man - Do you follow Mark Crispin Miller on Substack?
For sure. Another great resource on this topic.
https://markcrispinmiller.substack.com/
Very sad but very helpful.
Sadly, definitely picking up. I get obituary notifications from one of the local funeral homes. Many of the obituaries say āunexpectedly,ā or āsuddenly,ā or āat home.ā Just yesterday I was checking out the time of a funeral, Iām a church musician, and by the time I got home, three more obituaries had been added to the site. In addition, Iāve seen three ambulances drive by my house in the last 12 hours. That was just not a thing before 2022.
I have been ( my mother used to do this; I thought it creepy--now I do it) carefully reading the obits in a small-town Maine newspaper for the last two years. If the deceased is over 80, I breathe a sigh of relief. If under that, I suspect the jab. Last week one died in a one-person car crash.....
Normally, I would also be relieved if theyāre over 80, but lately, notsomuch. Even those obits say suddenly, indicating that the deceased was probably pretty spry.
A trend we should anticipate for some time to come. Sadly.
"Within five years of diagnosis, the death rate from myocarditis is 50%."
Based, who besides Mark C Miller? Dr. Paul Alexander has some--there are others? I fear my question makes me sound ghoulish.
William Makis reports by category instead of by celebrity status, so that's another one. Easier for me to comprehend individuals instead of statistics, but also enraging.
I think itās most helpful to show the all death mortality rates over the last 10 years through June 30 2023. Especially it can be agh own by age. Then we realize that each person on the sites becomes a person who died needlessly.
That is key. As time moves along the fall out from the shot is snowballing. At some point, the avalanche of death and destruction has got to cause a reaction.
Also--have you noticed how frequently the notice is accompanied by a plea for donation to GoFundMe (which speaks loudly, in itself] [here I could insert res ipsa loquitur!) for covering 'costs of funeral'?
"Was Pfizer ā with willing cooperation by regulators ā experimenting on the public with the different dosages? ". The hot batch reporting that came out first (will add link when I find it) showed a rotation of hot batches through a summer, 2021 I guess, from each vaccine to the next for thr big 3. Industry experts commented that it looked like a controlled dosage test to find the lethal level that would cause death. Think about that... an experiment across the world coordinated with three mfg's...
Karen Kingston & Sasha latipova have exposed the documents showing the jab program was a bio weapon program. Rfk jr was shocked when Sasha explained it to him. But now heās saying it so Iām pretty sure he checked her research.

Jeff, He would be a good guy for a multiplier.
Pardekoop?
https://www.howbadismybatch.com/
Answer to the first question - YES
It is so wonderful to see Sound of Freedom movie as a multiplier! I already had a ticket, but I purchased two more on the front row because I donāt plan to use them and didnāt want to take any good seats.
I already had my ticket where I am locally, but for the multiplier I just bought 2 at a California theatre where people are less likely to go see it. Donāt want to prevent someone from seeing it in locations where there are more likely people that want to. I chose the front seats also.
That was a great idea!
Iām kind of surprised yours was the only comment I saw about the movie multiplier.
I thought there were others. There were so many comments today and kind of scattered as far as topics went. People were stepping up.
I canāt wait to hear how well we do.
Honestly I didnāt search the whole entire thread. Like you said, so many and so spread out. Yours was the first I came across, but was surprised at least one comment about it didnāt garner more attention. Itās all good. Iām interested too, to see how many more tickets C&C bought up.
Hate to rain on your 4th of July parade, but...
Who here has fact-checked Tim Ballard? Jeff???
Is he a hero?Are you promoting a con-man who is exploiting the very children he claims to save? Is he another crazy Mormon guy with a savior complex?
Is The Sound of Freedom really The Sound of Fraud?
No evidence of 1 rescued child.
No evidence of 1 after-care child.
No registration of O.U.R. as a charitable organization with Utah AG.
Movie was delayed 3 years because of investigation of Tim Ballard by Utah AG.
$50M so far in 'donations'. To what? His pockets!

Iāve heard this argument. Iām left asking why would Jim Caveziel and Mel Gibson throw everything they have behind this movie if Tim was a fraud? I think all of those questions deserve answersā¦.but, Iām not sure thereās evidence that says heās a fraud or the movie is a fraud. Idk. We bought tickets a couple months ago because of what the movie is about and what we hope it exposes. I had no idea who Tim even was.
Kudos to you for having an inquiring mind! Perhaps Jim and Mel are charmed by Tim along with everyone else. Who would think somebody would lie about such a thing? Perhaps Jim and Mel are in it for the money too? Tim has already taken in $50M!!! That is a helluva chunk of donation dollars! Everyone is the Great Awakening movement are promoting this film. People do crazy things for money. IDK for sure myself. I just know that all the information I've gathered makes Tim look like a fraud.
And maybe all of that is āfake newsā. Well, I can certainly believe they were investigated very thoroughly and with great intimidation.
But I canāt imagine why a perverted individual would be part of making a film about their crimes, designed to wake a nation up to such horrific atrocities.
Sure sounds counterproductive.
TPTB are really good at plots to protect themselves and have full control of the media to get whatever stories out they want. They are masters of deception.
So, Iāll wait to learn more.
Same here! Good comment. TPTB would love for this movie to be buried. Iāve seen interviews with Jim Caveziel and he looks disheveled. He looks like heās been in a war. He looks tired in almost all of the interviews. When the demons of hell (aka TPTB) come after you and try to stop youā¦you battle and itās exhausting. So.
Iād also like to know how Tim supposedly got 50M off this? The money being raised by selling tickets doesnāt seem to garner that kind of money for a guy who wasnāt actually even one of the actors in the movie. Idk. Iāll reserve judgement, for now too.
Thisā¦āHe looks like heās been in a war. He looks tired in almost all of the interviews. When the demons of hell (aka TPTB) come after you and try to stop youā¦you battle and itās exhausting.ā
And I look at President Trump with all the hounds of hell in full throated attack for eight years now, and I know heās not standing in his own strength. God is doing something with this man!
I donāt doubt for a second Trump has been attacked from day 1 and heās still standing. He looks tired at times and other times looks fired up with lots of energy. The resources of Trump are probably much bigger and wider than an actor has at his disposal. So maybe Jim looks it more because of that š¤·āāļø Plus heās been adopting little kids who need heart surgeries and theyāve been dealing with many of those. I donāt know details but Iāve heard him speak about that a little bit.
Either wayā¦the war is raging and the battle is on. Many of us deal with the spiritual warfare too in different ways, without the financial resources or power of the name behind us. Weāre all tired. Thereās enough of that to go around. God is doing something with all of us. Some just on the front lines in the limelight and others in the shadows in the confines of their homes and communities. We are in a different kind of war. But, itās still a war.
Please, God, say this is not true! I remember how Mel Gibson was attacked and persecuted for making The Passion.
I would expect the attacks on all involved would be a hundred times greater with this film that is such a danger to so many very powerful people. Iāve actually been waiting for something to drop.
Until proven otherwise, thatās how Iām going to see it.
In our situation it is hard job nearly impossible to distinguish between the truth and fraud...being inundated daily with lies and deception
For example I was totally deceived initially by Pence āChristianā conversation come to find heās as fake as Chinese knock off and as much a patriot as Benedict Arnold.
We can only do our best to make a careful and critical examination of someone or something and then we try to support that decision based on our findings
Iāve been thinking about this from yesterdayās post regarding Madonnaā¦.āitās ānot the timeā to discuss the mysterious causes of her illnessā.
THAT is the STUPIDEST thing I have ever heard! Is her illness a secret? Are we NEVER to speak about the cause of WHY someone is illā¦.itās ājust mysteriousā?!
Cāmon!! We KNOW the reason WHY! Are we so childish to buy into āif we close our eyes, it goes awayā?!
People, we need to get passed this stupidity. THIS is what lead people to being brainwashed taking the shots and masking ā OUTDOORS!!!
That privacy crap went out the window when they all pushed vaccine passports and segregated society by whether your vaxxed or not. Can't claim vaxx status privacy now. And because they don't want to talk about vaxx status, they are acknowledging the elephant in the room. You know if any of these people were unvaxxed it would be all over the news.
I love this ~ had not thought of it in this way: "Can't claim vaxx status privacy now." That privacy right HAS BEEN WAIVED by anyone who was asking the question about others earlier. Yes!
If Iām ever asked many vax status, Iāll say, āItās āmysteriousā!
My husband say yes because he has been vaccinated. Just not with the clot shot vaxx. šš
I say 'No way!' and look at them like they're crazy to ever think I'm that stupid. ;)
The same reply I give. I want people to know I did not drink the Koolaid.
I caused quite a stir at my husband's company holiday party dinner this past year when I said it at the table! My husband is the boss so I can say what I want without getting in trouble. ;)
The only people I am more discreet with are my kids' friends' parents because I don't want them to shun my kids (which they would...or at least there was a time that they would...maybe not really anymore.)
Same. Got to watch a guy back away from me three feet when I did that, too.
I figured on replying, "Yes, I am fully immunized"
... yeah, just not via the needle. :) I was recently around someone who was sick with confirmed COVID for a week, and didn't come down with anything - so yeah, I'm definitely immunized!
Another option I've considered is, "If you want me to tell you that I'm vaccinated, then I can tell you that." (For those who don't mind being misleading, though not technically lying.)
Thank you- I like that last (as I expect to have to confront PA in next month)
Thatās clever!
If I'm asked my vaxx status, can I say "Please respect my privacy"?
But I assume that medicals will put down in notes whatever you offer them
Theyāve already started recording a new medical code for āCOVID unvaccinatedā. Weāre already labeled.
Yes, there are many codes in use, rather than "a" "new medical code." They are detailed. They record the reason for the decision, such as believing disinformation. Seriously.
Just say you didn't take the jab if asked and you didn't. People need to get brave, just say the truth and why. Some people are fake-saying they took it with something like, yes, I've been vaccinated. Really, we all need practice in being brave, harder things are coming.
We have no problem lying directly to the faces of covidiots. š Otherwise we are proud Purebloods.
It's genetic. But she wasn't born with it.
(Hat-tip to Jeff)
Madonna "mystery illness" - is this the first for a "bacterial infection"?
This has me puzzled too, as Madonna is a fit person. BUT, she has had many plastic surgeries and probably other body-altering things done to her. If she were to even go to the dentist, she would need to go on antibiotics first before a dentist could even clean her teeth or fix a bad tooth, or a bad infection would go the the weakest point in her body and cause chaos. If sheās not one to pay attention, because she is career-driven, then I can see where this bacterial infection could easily spread. But she was also intubated in ICU, because she stopped breathing. And now appears to be vomiting uncontrollably. Septic? Perhaps. Something worse? Who knows. If itās connected to the vax, we may never find out.
With all the crap she's done to her body, I'm surprised she's not sprouting some weird appendage. Never liked her self-absorbed slutty behavior, and now she's just scary looking on top of it!
Horns and a tail.
amen Randi!
Madonna is also involved in either s*t*nism, or other occult. It may be payback time for her. There is always a quid pro quo by the dark side.
Funny tho that people do not know that even after years they can simply verbally renounce and choose the Son instead of darkness.
It is never too late to change your mind unless you are dead.
I knew there was something up when people have to go get their second c-19 shot at the same place they received the first one. Why would that be? Because the people were in the clinical trial. This also explains why my 80 year old mother got turbo cancer and my dad didnāt- they got their shots and boosters at different locations.
America was just one giant experiment and we were the rats.
Just an observation, but I've always been baffled as to how a region of the world - Eurasia - easily constitutes well over 35% (actually more) of the world's population... yet can wind up having it's descendants considered a minority ANYWHERE. They outnumber every other demographic by a mile.
I'll take a win however I can get it... but the racial quotas thing really is just insane.
BTW... my son just completed a 400 level math class at his top ten university this summer. He was the only kid in class who wasn't Chinese. They are kicking our you know what's... while we continue to lower the standards for basic high school graduation anymore.
Makes one wonder if the missing railcar ingredients made their way up to Canada.
More encouraging news! Supreme Court just ruled in favor of young Christian web designer who did not want to do work that was contrary to her Christian beliefs.
"Racist Biden Staffer Erica Marsh thinks black folks are categorically stupid"
Oops! Left the bleach on too long. Leached right through to her brain.
Itās mind numbing that any black American will vote for them.
Mind numbing that *anyone* will vote for them!
Yes!
Yep.
Clearly a perfect fit as a biden team hire.
Purchased the tickets and hoping to be able to see the movie as well, but glad to support this and get the word out there
