How do we steel ourself for the battle for the soul of humanity? Read this.

as Montaigne put it, “To practice death is to practice freedom. A man who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave.”

“Let us prepare our minds as if we’d come to the very end of life. Let us postpone nothing. Let us balance life’s books each day....The one who puts the finishing touches on their life each day is never short of time.” Seneca

https://convertkit.s3.amazonaws.com/assets/documents/23129/1152234/Day_4.pdf

The finest man I ever knew practiced this at work. Fiercely independent, as smart as anyone I ever knew, photographic memory, and experienced from the bottom to the top of the company. When someone was trying to put him in his place, he told them "I came in here looking for a job, and I can leave the same way". He was feared, often hated by the toadies, , but virtually everyone respected him. He led by example. The day came when the company blew up the entire US based International division. He alone ensured they offered an early retirement package and a generous severance package to those who did not qualify, myself included. They tried to bribe him, threaten him, until finally he told them to keep their pension. He did not want it. BTW, it was probably the finest private retirement program in the country. They were floored. "We can't do that. It isn't legal". Checkmate.

How do you control someone who is not afraid.? You can't. And that is what every single "go along to get along" person in this country needs to do. The Khazarian cabal has decided there are only two choices for the masses. Be willing to die on your feet, or live on your knees. The time is imminent when everyone is going to have to make that choice. No more hiding in the shadows. .

Exactly what I said. To claim to be in the ‘middle’ is a mistake. The leftists are way left. The Republicans are in the middle. I am on the right, and that’s where I intend to stay. To those who say they’re ‘in the middle’ is to say that you agree and can live with ‘some’ of what each side believes. And to make that claim means you better not claim the ‘Republicans have no spine’, because that’s where they are, smack in the middle, trying to appease both sides.

I cannot live with ANYthing the left believes. Therefore ‘utter idiots to the left of me, spineless cowards in the middle. Here I am, over here on the right. And it is sparsely populated.

Mostly agree. It's lonely over here, lol. Though I see Republicans as mostly to the left, as evidenced by their overall support for: big government / big business collusion to squash competition (aka suppressing the free market), high taxes (except on themselves and their friends), open borders, globalism, the MMT scam, the covid scam, the "vaccine" mandates, suppression of speech, etc.

They sometimes pretend to care about "culture war" issues, but that's to keep up the illusion that there are two parties who have different views about issues that matter. In reality, both parties see government as the answer to every question. When Rs start talking about the very long overdue repeal of the federal income tax, or sunsetting useless pieces of the federal government, or closing all immigration for a while, or actually getting tough on crime, then we'll know we have made some ground.

Meanwhile, in their own spare time, they're partying with the Ds and living the libertine lifestyle they claim to decry. So, as I see it, it's more or less all leftists across the board, with a handful of exceptions. My hope is that covid - and now, the rot exposed within the university system, which is the cause of all of this - increases the size of that handful.

You can start a group! I began by talking to people about what I had researched and knew about Covid, masks and then the vaccine. Once you realize the truth you can’t turn back. You want to share the truth. I don’t force information on anyone. You start recognizing who is like minded, critical thinkers who are not afraid to question the narratives and able to accept the reality of the lies and deception of big pharma, big corporations, federal bureaucracies and our own government. We support each other, dig deep into the truth and share information. But above all, I’m a Christian and study God’s Word and that grounds me in truth. I don’t have all the answers but God has given me the gift of discernment, the power of the Holy Spirit and most of all a Savior who lived a perfect life that I’m incapable of, so eventually I’ll be given eternal life in a new world where all things will be right. Some of the people in my group are Christians and some are not. But we are fellow humans trapped in this insane world who look for truth.

I had a similar convo with a friend recently. She was telling me about season 3 of Ted Lasso. I have not seen it because I don't subscribe to appletv. She and husband, adult children, will not be watching season 3. Anyway, I understand seasons 1 and 2 were wildly popular. Season 3 has added content that most (population percentage-based 'most') will not want to be brought into their homes. It appears to be another case of the woke side not reading the room. "Bud Lighting" is a thing and it has not died. I am encouraged to know conservative values have found a voice and it is loud.

Wonderful story, rolandttg. Thank you!

As my father said to me decades and decades ago -- that I remember to this day -- "Tomorrow is guaranteed to no one, Kathleen." Once you get that? You not only live better and more fearlessly -- because after all, who knows?? -- you live with gratitude, especially for the loved ones in your life that that axiom tells you could be taken from you on any given day.

Fast forward to the "COVID" op. I said repeatedly to those that constantly tried to explain the conduct of the "American" people as stemming from fear. No. 𝑪𝒐𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒆. 𝑪𝒐𝒘𝒂𝒓𝒅𝒊𝒄𝒆 ruled the day -- and it wrecked life. As it usually (always?) does.

I'll leave you with another stoic: “𝑪𝒊𝒓𝒄𝒖𝒎𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆𝒔 𝒅𝒐 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒎𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒂𝒏; 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒚 𝒎𝒆𝒓𝒆𝒍𝒚 𝒓𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒉𝒊𝒎 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒎𝒔𝒆𝒍𝒇.” - 𝑬𝒑𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒆𝒕𝒖𝒔

You're welcome and thank you for the comment. Angus. We all feel fear at various times over all sorts of things. No failing there; it's human.

Yet, we saw it everywhere, and as you say, we saw that despicable conduct elevated to a virtue.

Garden Lover's avatar

Yup. I also told a number of people, who thought I was callous and cold hearted, that healthy people shouldn’t be expected to get these vaccines to protect someone we have no control over. I mean, I can’t control their genetics, how they eat, whether they take drugs, smoke, are an alcoholic, are obese, exercise (or don’t), are sick, or what they do. Nor are we responsible for someone else’s health. When we can’t control any of that (and we shouldn’t if we are to live in a free society), then why should I be told I must put something I don’t want to in my body to protect someone else?

What I can control is whether I stay healthy, and me staying healthy is a benefit to them and society in general.

In short, medical freedom, bodily autonomy, personal responsibility is an essential part of a free society. Without it, we are screwed.

This is the meaning of the phrase "it's a good day to die". That is, it's a good day to live... death is part of life and to face it is to live fully.

Similar understandings are in Taoism, Zen, and Hinduism. I'd say it is a universal spiritual understanding for people who are awake to spirit.

Thank you for laying it out. Even for calling out the Khazarian cabal, the deepest root of evil and the enemy of Christendom (whatever still remains). Your eyes are wide open.

By the way, Alex Jones seems to have deleted this interview, all except segment edited out. But it is to be found elsewhere. I listened to it. And from close associations in my very early youth, it jibes with everything I heard and saw of highly placed Khararian stock, mostly of eastern European origins.

Politico Phil's avatar

Wow, what with Jones talking over Kapner that was difficult for me to follow. Even though I don't understand all the details, I do understand that this all goes back to the money, the banking cartel, and that points directly to the Rockefeller/Rothschild families and the Bank for International Settlements, the Vatican and the British Crown and the City of London. Kapner is on point when he points to 1913 when Americans were made slaves to the international banking system with the establishment of the Federal Reserve (as a result of the opposition having been murdered with the intentional sinking of the "Titanic"). They are the head of the snake and if they are not dealt with, we cannot win this war.

daverkb's avatar

Kapner is speaking from 'the inside' ... and this is going to hard for a lot of people to take in. But I know that what Kapner said is all true. What got me the most is when Kapner said that ... with these people, it is never a question of what is good for America. It is always a matter of what 'you can do for me, what you can do for our crowd'. Khazarian Imperium trumps everything else. It's a fact. It is a fact an I have seen it first hand.

I knew a prominent family that owned chains of movie theaters and some name hotels. Their cousins owned at one time the Empire State building and media items, well known magazines and so on. The synagogue is the control center. They all belong and support the same lead organizations, the UN, the lobbies, etc., and always their agenda ... not what's good for the country. One family member, by the way, was the producer of a great film, The French Connection. An so yes, I really did see it first hand ... and not on the cheap.

I remember once going to local movie theater in my town, owned by this family. I went with my parents to see the film Exodus. I was totally astonished by this, that a whole area in the area was roped off and expressly for the local synagogue. This made a huge impression upon my young mind, that they really do act as a unified force. And there is was, before my very eyes. And then step back some and contrast that with our families. Shattered mirrors of degradation everywhere. Ruins heaped upon dysfunctional ruin.

The fall of America is a controlled demolition and funded by the Invisible Hand of banking. But to be fair, it's not all just 'them'. And I give you just one other name as proof. David Rockefeller ... banker and donor of the building site mid-town East Side New York of the United Nations. David Rockefeller, one of the chief architects of the fall of the America. This country gave so much to Standard Oil and what did the Rockefellers do. They ran us through the gut.

Politico Phil's avatar

Amen. I should have added Rockefeller to Rothschild in my comment. Spot on! I believe this cabal has existed for almost the entire 500 year civilization cycle that began with the Enlightenment. I think this western cycle is nearing an end and collapse and hopefully these banking institutions will die with it. I believe the only institution that has continued for 2000 years is the Body of Christ.

Politico Phil's avatar

Truth: “To practice death is to practice freedom. A man who has learned how to die has unlearned how to be a slave.”

A corollary to that is: "To practice eternal life is to practice true liberty. A man who has eternal life no longer fears death and has learned to live for righteousness."

This reminds me when I was a college student circa 1970. I decided to study Ayn Rand on my own because I wanted to understand Libertarianism which I was attracted to. So I read her works. While I found I agreed with her objectives, I found one fatal flaw. Her morality or ethic was based on pragmatism. By definition a moral code must be based on absolutes and this was lacking in her philosophy. Because man is by nature corrupt, pragmatism always leads to corruption and tyranny. Without absolutes there can be no order and no lasting liberty.

In other words, while the stoic may be free of the fear of death and thus have a form of liberty, what moral compass should he use as his basis of human action and how will he know if his actions will lead to liberty or tyranny? After all, we have limited knowledge. This is where an absolute standard comes into play. What the Christian calls Biblical Law. In baptism, the Christian passes through the waters of death and is raised to eternal life in the power of the Holy Spirit to become one with the body of Christ. We are adopted sons of God in Christ.

Having been freed of the sentence of death through baptism, the Christian now has the freedom to stand for the absolute standard of liberty, God's Righteousness as defined in His Word. The stoic has half of the answer and while he may maintain a rugged individualism, he still cannot answer the question of "How then shall we live?"

Expand full comment
daverkb's avatar

I spotted that too. And thought that to practice death is really to practice the way of the world such as did Satan tempt of our Lord. And that death begets more death. Stoicism may have a Spartan-like virtue attached to it, but it is still counterfeit to Light and the Light shed by the Christian Law absolute. And as such, Stoicism does not appeal, at least to me. Nope! Let me have some that apple pie topped with vanilla ice cream! Like at Christmas!

You hit the nail on the head. Ayn Rand comes close in many ways but fails. Man's law, even if an approximation of God's absolute law nearly always degenerates over time into opinion and whim, and dressed up opportunism in the hands of the a political class gone to ruin. Look around at 2020, J6, the courts of persecution ... and say it ain't so!

I never bring up the jabbers but try to lead him to consider herbs to treat his infections and inflammation - hard no.

Your patience is a virtue. I think my husband isn’t awake enough. He too the first 2 Pfizer’s because we were living in NJ for the Delta summer and he was working out of his parents home and were very health compromised. He couldn’t bear the guilt of exposing them and so he succumbed to the pressure. But he won’t take any more jabs and I never did. His blood pressure was barely an issue before jabbing but it now does these erratic upswings. It went up suddenly in early December and then he came down with something. So we think that the high bp was from the sickness. He wants to get off bp meds. I’m trying to get him to intermittent fast. I think it’s a game changer.

TB's avatar

My understanding is that the detox protocols mainly deal with the symptoms (eg nattokinase to reduce clotting) and eliminating lingering harmful proteins rather than removing the source directly. If that's true, then it wouldn't make a difference to people around (shedding), only to the person who takes it. On the flip side though, it might not be a bad idea for someone unjabbed to detox themselves if they're in intimate contact with a jabbed person. (Do your own research, obviously.)

Depopulation

Expand full comment
RU's avatar

I think the estimate is that about 10% of the population have taken the latest booster. The narrative around covid is starting to resemble the narrative around race in the US. We spend an inordinate amount of time talking about the views and needs of a small minority of the population.

Not speaking to your comment specifically, but how the media, "thought leaders" and so on talk about it. And how amplified the covidian minority is on social media and in workplaces. Apparently, in reality they exist in small numbers...like, 10%...and yet they seem to be everywhere, all the time. (Sort of like watching ads on TV where 90% of the actors are woke black people. An inversion of reality.) Everyone in media, employers, the medical community, etc. is afraid of crossing this mighty 10%. As though anything they think or say is valid or needs to be taken seriously.

Reading social media or listening to chatter, one would think 90% are covidians. Or at least 50%. Is it artificial boosting? Is it paid activists posting content? Or is it virtue-signaling, where some espouse covidianism publicly, but aren't actually covidians? I suspect a lot of the millennial generation does the latter.

I saw my dentist today. Although completely asymptomatic, he was just diagnosed with a fairly serious prostate cancer, Stage 2B, at 67 yo - all was well a year ago. He's in solo practice and had to go through 4 inspections in our state, The People's Republic of Maryland, just to reopen in mid-2020 and keep his practice going. I assume he had to get the shot(s) in 2021 to stay open. He's going to Johns Hopkins for treatment and they told him they biopsied all 10 samples because they had not seen a case present like that - the cancer was throughout all the samples. But he did hear they believe this is curable after the radioactive implants, 45 or so radiation treatments, and 2 years of androgen-suppressing drugs.

Normalizing, and even over-emphasizing, can indeed numb people and is not only a strategy but can occur organically. I worked at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation for years. They emphasized “safety” so hard that it became a joke. You had to “resolve” a certain number of safety issues to get an “excellent” performance appraisal. This meant that people went around looking for safety issues and, having trouble finding any, concocted something out of nothing so they could report it to their manager for the record. One would “adjust” a power cord that wasn’t really a tripping hazard, for example. Then people would joke about it and roll their eyes. Making a joke of safety was not the goal, but it was the result.

Oprah was clutching her hand, as if holding her in place, and encouraging her to ‘trust’ this guy with her career and her body. The woman/girl looked like she wanted to sink back into the cushions, disappear like Homer Simpson into the hedge.

My iPhone once got run over by a Volvo—and still worked. (Apple should make a commercial out of that story.)

How funny that you ask Michelle whenever you can't find something as I do exactly the same thing with my husband! At Christmas, I lost an earring, and my mom and I probably spent 15 minutes with a flashlight searching the floor. Then I asked my husband, and he found it in 20 seconds.

My husband couldn’t find his phone once. I drove to the gas station and when I went around to the other side to gas up--there was his phone still sitting on the passenger side truck lid. Still there after an 8 mile drive. Because of the stupid way cars are designed these days it was invisible to me in the drivers seat. I did enjoy asking him if he had found his phone when I returned. Mostly, I find everything he’s looking for. I lose things but find them when I’m looking for other stuff. Have a great 2024, Margaret.

My sister who was the queen of organizing everything could not find her bejeweled watch after returning from her vacation. She was literally going crazy trying to find it. I went to her house and thought where would she have put it before leaving and common sense told me in some organized place. I went to her file drawer and looked under "W" and sure enough there was the watch. As the old saying goes "Common sense is not so common"

ChicNotGeek's avatar

premature in the sense that it may have occurred later than 83, or not at all, without the vax, but i understand your point that 83 is a usual age for infirmity to tick up, and we need to be careful not to ascribe to the vax what may otherwise be a normal aging journey. Not defending the vax, but to find meaning in events is our human nature, so the vax may be immediately gratifying to fulfill our humanistic curiosity for causation and “why?”. But it honestly probably isn’t the case all the time.

believe it or not, i don’t immediately blame the vax for my MILs new p-cancer. She has predisposing risk factors and because it was found pre-metastatic, and hasn’t progressed much since November, told me that it’s probably not a ‘vax-induced turbo’ especially in the absence of boosters.

The US federal disease codes and procedures have changed since the 2022(?) "no jab and why" codes which were mandated for each patient visit. As of sometime in late 2023, no one asked me my jab status after 5+ years of not going near a doctor or jab of any kind at a medical place with decades of my records and thus no record of my being jabbed with the bioweapon. So, the feds are no longer asking anyone about their jab status! Another big "Never mind!" coverup for jab side effects data. The old "no evidence!" excuse.

Tucker Carlson just dropped two very important interviews. The first is with Bret Weinstein and is free on Twitter/X. Weinstein, the brilliant evolutionary biologist whose Dark Horse Podcast showcased Robert Malone and Steve Kirsch discussing the jab with Weinstein, is very VERY concerned about the WHO's plans to turn the world into a totalitarian state. https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1743405833667371329 He also talks about why the mRNA technology is so dangerous. This is a must-see interview to send to your friends because everyone needs to know about the May WHO vote. Tucker also interview Rep. Clay Higgins about January 6. Very important interview. For this one, however, I believe you need to be a member of the Tucker Carlson Network. It costs $72/year and, in my view, is well worth the cost. He is trying to avoid having sponsors who can cancel you.

I thought the exact same thing. That is a ton of people hearing for the first time that these shots killed anyone. 17M is what - 4x the "official" covid death total? And that official death total is wildly inflated, probably 2-3x what it actually is. Meaning, according to an actual biologist, the shots have killed anywhere from 4x as many people to 17x as many people as covid did. And Tucker's millions of followers saw this. Felt like an important moment to me.

I watched that video in June 2021 and knew then I'd never take anther flu jab or other "vaccine" for any reason. I already had bad vibes about the authorities limiting prophylactics in 2020 to be wide awake.

The Great Bioweapon Cull. Those of us already awake - the "lone wolves" as Bret has said - have fought through chapters 1-2. Now chapter 3 has started as the flock of sheep finally wakes up. It's going to get very grim and messy before this ends,.

Ruled by the mediocre ....

DEFENDING THE REPUBLIC

January 08, 2024

Dear Patriots,

As more and more truth is leaked out, we see many cases where we are being ruled by experts who frankly have no business being experts.

As always in this newsletter, we ask you to seek and share information that is not coming from marginal experts. We search for information from those who have earned their status through hard intellectual work and varied life experiences.

We start out this January week with:

a brief Twitter essay from Senator J.D. Vance about the credentialed elite.

another interesting interview with Rep. Clay Higgins.

a legal action from the Ashli Babbitt family.

more academic malfeasance.

clear evidence the left's green policies are bad for mankind.

1- Senator Vance recently wrote an essay on Twitter that said a lot about evil mediocracy. We are paying a big price for listening to "experts" who are marginally qualified to do important jobs.

Ann Coulter also has written on the subject.

Senator J.D. Vance (OH-R) on Twitter (X).

QUOTE: The most important point about Claudine Gay's plagiarism isn't that she was fired, but that she had the job--the most prestigious job in higher education--after an extremely thin record of accomplishment. Claudine Gay has never published an article--even a plagiarized one--that really mattered, or significantly advanced scholarship. She got her job not through merit, but because she checked a box. In this, she is not an outlier, but a representative of a system of education that rewards mediocrity.

Our entire elite is like this. People who got their jobs because they checked boxes, not because they achieved something amazing or accomplished something meaningful. That is now the purpose of our elite universities, to give credentials that signal fake merit rather than rely on real excellence.

This is why you should mock the public health experts who want you to mask toddlers in their schools to stop the spread of a respiratory virus. These public health experts are not smart or accomplished, they have a credential from an institution that cares more about box checking than merit.

This is why you should ignore the economists who tell you that mass migration raises the wages of the working class or has no effect on housing prices, even though I've heard from multiple corporate leaders that they want more immigration in order to pay their workers lower wages. These economists are not smart or accomplished, they have a credential from an institution that cares more about box checking than merit.

This is why you should laugh at the foreign policy experts who will tell you that we should allow east Asia to make all of our steel, phones, and pharmaceuticals, while sending all of our weapons to a war in Eastern Europe that has little to do with our core national interests. These foreign policy experts are not smart or accomplished, they have a credential from an institution that cares more about box checking than merit.

This is why you should scorn the attorneys who tell you that Donald Trump committed "insurrection" and should be thrown off the ballot. They have no special legal knowledge. They are political hacks pretending to be lawyers, and they are not smart or accomplished, they have a credential from an institution that cares more about box checking than merit.

This is why you should question the doctors who tell you to prescribe experimental pharmaceuticals to gender-confused children. These doctors are not smart or accomplished, they have a credential from an institution that cares more about box checking than merit.

The real story of Harvard is not Claudine Gay's firing but this:

You are ruled by thousands of people who are just as mediocre. Their power relies on tax advantages from the federal government, a DEI bureaucracy backed by Biden's Department of Justice, and the implicit consent of millions of Americans.

I say we withdraw that consent, and all the favors that come along with it.

2- As we pass the anniversary of the January 6 set-up, we point you to an interview with Rep. Clay Higgins by Tucker Carlson.

Previously, we have seen Rep. Higgins be interviewed by Lara Logan. It is vital to get the truth of this day to as many people as possible. Please watch this and pass it on.

This is urgent as the government is still planning thousands of arrests of people who never entered the Capitol Building.

Tucker Carlson -The Tucker Carlson Encounter: Rep. Clay Higgins

Tucker: It has been exactly three years since January 6th, the events of January 6th, the racist insurrection that shocked this nation to its core more profoundly than anything since Pearl Harbor, plus the Civil War. And it's taken a while, honestly, even for people who aren't on the side of the professional liars, to realize there's something amiss about what happened that day, not just the response: The largest law enforcement mobilization in the history of the United States. That was obviously disproportionate because it wasn't the worst riot that year. Not even close. But the day itself, there was something about January 6th that didn't feel right. And hovering over that day has remained the question to what extent was it a setup? And we still don't really know. But what's interesting is how few people have asked that entirely legitimate question. And one of the very few, really one of the only in the United States Congress is a member called Clay Higgins from Louisiana. And in case you haven't seen this clip, it's worth rewatching. This is from 2022 at a Homeland Security Committee hearing, where he asked it just directly of the FBI director.

PRAY for divine intervention. LOOK for miracles. SEEK truth. SHARE truth.

Hold Fast,

Defending The Republic

I believe we'll see it by 2030 or sooner. My investment guy acts like a complete dufus when talking about this stuff. He denies the US dollar is in great trouble and discourages gold/precious metal investment. He doesn't think the CBDC will EVER be implemented but then he doesn't seem to even know much about it. We paid off our house in 2020, which he objected to ("well, it IS YOUR money" - gosh thanks, dude! ), until 2022, when he said we made the right decision by doing so. From 2016 to 2020, he made me a LOT of money on my 401k and hasn't done too bad since then. He's a quasi-relative (my brother-in-law's EX-brother-in-law) who many in my family use. Sometimes, I think he's just desparate that people don't withdraw all their money, so he just plays dumb. In his personal life, he really wasn't "scared" of the plandemic until he was hospitalized with "covid". Once discharged, he became a literal SMJ (social distancing, masking, jabbing) zealot. He was morbidly obese until 2023, when he started using the $20k Monjuaro diabetes/weight loss drug (like Ozempic - both stocks are huge money-makers) to lose about 100 lbs in 9 mo. His wife had to stop using it, due to her liver crashing. He looks HORRIBLE, saggy, gaunt, even his color's not good - like he's a AIDS patient or something. ☹️ He posts pictures of himself at the GYM and people fawn all over him, compliment his "hard work", yet he never mentions the drugs AT ALL! I lost a bunch of respect for him when I saw that. With multiple jabs and this crazy weigh loss/drug use, I don't really expect him to be around much longer.

At least for now, I have found all of Tucker's interviews on Rumble. At some point they may be taken down as they are not legal. $6 a month is reasonable, but I read the privacy policy and it gave me pause. I 'get' that on 'free' sites, you are the product, that they collect information to sell to 3rd party advertisers. But if you are PAYING to access the TCN, seems like they should not be collecting information and selling it to 3rd parties. I do really like Tucker's interviews so I may bite the bullet at some point, but still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

I think most people who trumpet "no evidence of election fraud" know about the logistical, almost, impossibility of getting such a claim to a court. And stupid Republicans don't know how much they can get away with because of this. This is a double benefit for Dems (I'd use the term "corrupt Dems", but that qualifier is no longer needed.) They know they can do pretty much anything they want, and they know Republicans won't.

Apart from the way too short deadline, courts are loathe to get involved and will twist themselves into a knot any way they can to avoid involvement.

If you read Mollie Hemingway's book "Rigged", you learn that Democrat election fraud is really a industry unto itself.

they've been at it for decades, and perfected and went all in 2016-2020 just to get rid of Trump; plus there is much evidence that is just categorized as getting out the vote effort/investment and even non-campaign related "free speech" that if were done by Non-Left would be called evidence. The Kook-Left calendars showcasing the idiocy and nastiness of Trump and his crew- in a countdown til the end of his 4 year term happened to be so very prophetic.

People are sick and dying because of those lies. Part of the upside down so called truth about everything. I even researched if aspirin was truly so dangerous. Fining out it has mechanisms used against cancer and other uses. used reasonably, less dangerous than ibuprofen and Tylenol. I don’t touch either one of the latter or their brands anymore. Aspirin is back.

Me too! Aspirin was safe for years and then when Tylenol came out aspirin started killing everyone.

I think I read American Indians used the natural source of aspirin for pain. I’ve bought a pure source of it on Amazon without the additives.

First, I don't understand how any phone would be working after falling out of a plane at thousands of feet of altitude; mine breaks when I drop it while standing on the ground...

As for Gaffigan, here's a thought: maybe the idea is to start making the issue a joke in the mind of sheep rather than an actual issue. Planting the seeds, so to speak.

maybe its me, but my mind went right to the terrorist magic passport appearing 10 blocks from the WTC on 9/11 unburned. A miracle?

first, what is the weight of the iphone and the velocity of a 16K foot fall - did it make a crater?

Second - i don't have an smart phone, but don't they time out after so many minutes idle? and if so, where did the people get the password to unlock it? FISA order?

Excellent detective work. I missed that. They do indeed need a passcode and timeout very quickly (this interval can be set, I would think). Maybe this is also a sham.

It's weird (IMO not impossible), but taking a step back... what would be the purpose of a conspiracy in this case? A passenger, or a spooky cabal, drove out and planted a phone in the location where the plane was going to fly, prior to blowing the door off in mid-air for.... no reason?

Who benefits?

Expand full comment
Marilynne Martin's avatar

The narrative benefits.

Part of the overall conspiracy is the New World Order and a New Normal that has the masses staying in place with limited travel privileges.

Air travel needs to be brought down. No longer cheap, convenient, safe.

Ask yourself why, all of a sudden, we can't run airlines and traffic control systems? A narrative was set off on 9/11 to destroy the airline industry for the next generation because as Maurice Strong would say - "air travel is not sustainable". You should check out the UK Fires report called Absolute Zero, page 6, and see what the future holds (in their minds) for air travel.

So this "accident", of a brand new airplane losing its door in mid-flight, sucking out iphones, comes under "incrementalism", which this criminal cabal has perfected.

I am not certain it didn't happen, I am just saying I am skeptical a hiker found a phone a couple of days later and it was in perfect condition with still 50% battery power and opened to an Alaskan airport bag receipt. Called the police, waited for the police and then a photographer to take a picture of 3 cops holding a phone around a bush. And OMG, as I have not traveled by plane in decades due to the body scanner crap, are people actually paying $70 to take 2 bags on board?!

TB's avatar

Maybe so, but (presuming the conspirators are truly evil) wouldn't a crash that kills all the passengers be a more effective deterrent compared to a mid-air door failure that kills nobody, and almost certainly easier to pull off without leaving a trace? And I'm especially not getting the "payoff" of planting a phone somewhere to pretend it fell out of the plane, it doesn't seem like that really strengthens the "fear factor" at all.

I'm a big fan of the whole "two men can keep a secret if one of them is dead" idea; the more complex a conspiracy, the harder it is to believe that it could stay secret for very long.

(Added: also, presuming the standard conspiracy of NWO controlling the government as well, couldn't they just slowly start banning air travel for "climate reasons" without needing to stage elaborate aviation accidents as an excuse?)

My exact words, too! Just like the totally intact "terrorist" passport, found a couple of blocks away from 2 steel buildings that were demolished by a 2 passenger jets (made mostly from aluminum). 🤷‍♀️

TB's avatar

For the record, the official account is that they collapsed due to fire weakening the tensile strength of the steel, not by the plane impact directly (otherwise they would have collapsed as soon as they were hit). So whatever the planes were made of doesn't really matter. (Not that I want to get into yet another debate, but it's always good to accurately represent an opposing view.)

Sure. It's important to get the official narrative correct. That's most important. 👍

It’s not the fall that matters, it’s the landing.

TB's avatar

Came down to say this until I saw you already had. If the phone landed on thick grass with soft ground beneath it, it's quite reasonable for it to survive (compared to landing on concrete from even just a few inches).

Last summer my son had just received a new Pixel 7. At the pool, I propped it against a chair *on the deck* when it tipped over.

Although it had fallen ZERO inches, the tipping over cracked the screen.

Go figure.

My old little Galaxy S4mini got dropkicked across the room regularly, never a cracked screen. I get a new pixel gifted to me and a couple weeks later it fell out of my pocket WHILE I WAS SITTING, shattered the screen entirely. I am very unimpressed by the pixels hardware :p

The one that triggers me is "The tide is turning". Reading C&C has historically been something that kept my sanity, pointing out all the same crap I saw, It's was nice to know wasn't the only one that noticed. Your post is refreshing to see now since C&C doesn't really fill that role for me anymore, we keep hearing about problems and some attempts at law suits(nothing else) to right the wrongs, but when nothing good happens, Jeff and the C&C majority seem to be cheerful about being persecuted.

I feel like most readers here are adults and can handle the truth - The tyrants won, we lost. Maybe the truth would help motivate people? Probably not. I wonder if this year's election being a complete fraud will change anyone's mind? I don't think so. We will "loose" again and the persecution will amplify.
