Bless the Cajun Navy, Elon Musk, and all private citizens supporting devastated communities. Meanwhile, Kamala and Tim spent the weekend fundraising. NC and TN National guards were shipped out to the Middle East, Ukraine gets unlimited taxpayer dollars, and FEMA is running low on funds because they spent billions on illegals. This is what America Last looks like. “I’m from the government and I’m here to help.”

There are no words that can describe how Evil our Government has become. There is no way they will relinquish power, too many crimes against Humanity to cover up. And the crimes keep piling up.

Our government BECOME... Since the Dems demanded slaves count as 3/5 a person? In utero children as non persons? Indians as worthy of removing and then impersonating? Completely made up of ppl who are devoid of morality voted in by same and anyone else is accused of being just like themselves in mirror image. Accusation always makes it appear that the accuser is an angel of light, just as Jesus appeared as an insurrectionist and thief. Man's history remains the same.

I just quit my womens sermon study. It’s painful and the stickers on their cars tell me so much. One basically glorifies abortion. Plus these seniors are all getting their mRNA shots right now. I want to be out of range of their breathing. Quit the church in 2021.

Wish I could but in my small farming community there are none I would consider attending. Every single one is a mainline denomination and every one closed down at our governor’s whim. And would again. Driving much distance would not work for me. I listen online to a few. I get my spiritual help in my local woods for now. God speaks to me every time I focus.

I'm glad that you have found some sermons to listen to on-line, but I'm so sorry that you've had to resort to that. Strong, well trained, loving pastors shepherds are few and far between. But Jesus is always with you and He will never leave you nor forsake you.

Romans 8: 31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written,

“For Your sake we are being put to death all day long;

We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Janet--this is exactly what I am expecting. He has led me so many times in the past, and back "then" I saw His hand only in retrospect. In last few years I have become alert to what He might be doing with me. I only in April '23 got the nudge to read, from v. 1 Gen. 1, the Bible--only got through Luke 14 this morning (before coming to C&C!). And musing two hours ago that if churches which caved to authority during the scamdemic, were offering services by Zoom, then what's the difference between watching your own pastor on the internet and watching some one else's pastor on the internet? Communion could not be taken communally in the presence of other Believers. so ....where does Jesus' "mandate" to "do this in memory of me" fit in? Also, confessed to husband last night that I had already decided that I would prefer to complete my reading of the Bible AS A WHOLE before going off to listen to someone else teaching the Bible. Ironically, I rather think I have found the answer--a Korean Presbyterian church, very close to home, whose website listing their beliefs is right up my alley. Came upon this because my young neighbor stopped by to tell me of his mother's death, ask us to attend the viewing and service, that night and then the supper following. Still, I want to finish my reading first.

Denominational division is something our enemy is rejoicing about, that is for sure. We certainly saw how much religions embraced the mandatory shuttering of their places of worship and let serpents in to push the line 'Jesus would want you to be a disciple of the vaccine' or some such BS at a Sunday church service in NY. So gross. And you are right, people taking this shot do shed. You can't not shed what is inside you, whether it be physical or spiritual. If you are not sure, look for outward signs of acquiescence.

Wish I could like this more than once! I could not believe our church gave in to Gov. Jaydolph. I do not have the words to express my heartbreak, after growing up in that church (since I was 5 years old), meeting and marrying my husband in that church (we were in the same kindergarten Sunday School class), learning of the saints who had gone before, from the 1st century Christians on down the line, who had withstood persecution, prosecution, martyrdom, and "how then will we stand in the day of testing" - after 45 years of what I thought was sound, Biblical teaching, they folded at the first sign of pressure. I have tears in my eyes as I type.

Our nephew's church in Glendale, AZ was one of only 2 churches in the PHX area that did not close. People were so hungry for the community of God's people that they flocked to this church. They went to 3 services, and finally had to purchase a new campus, which they did without any debt.

I'm so sorry. This should not have happened. People in church leadership should be educated on issues and consider all perspectives and pray for much wisdom before advocating anything.

Thanks but you don’t really know my circumstances. I can be with Jesus at anytime. He is sitting with me right now as I wait for my husband to come back from the test determining how invasive his bladder cancer is. I was going to come to our local hospital a bit later but I got a leading to go and pray over him right there, right then. I immediately left and did that. The church I drove 40 miles to in the past was just a small congregation in that city. After services , we all got into our cars and left that city. Absolutely no engagement with the people who no doubt needed Jesus right outside the doors. I believe in serving in your community. Your sphere of influence. That is what I’m praying for. I try to do what I can here. A sermon long ago told us we may have to pull people out of the ruins and minister in what way we are led where we are. Certainly much of that is happening right now in the disaster areas. Ruins can mean many things. That sermon was in 1988 and is the only one I truly remember.

Today’s typical woman is unfortunately ‘a useful idiot’ indeed. Engaging in conversation with young men I come in contact with, I hear a sadness about how difficult it is to find a young American woman that they would want to marry. They treat decent men terribly, always demanding some unattainable level of equality.

I saw a meme about how the nation experimented with giving women the vote and learned that what is most important to women is to be able to kill babies. This is obviously a failed experiment that needs to end as soon as possible. I’m serious.

Fre'd Bennett, MAHA's avatar

Brother, have I got good news for you!

The TLMs are positively teeming with young single girls who want nothing more than to find a traditional young man to marry who will protect and provide for her and her future babies.

Cannot overstate the stark cultural differences between the Traditional Latin Mass parishes and the Novus Ordo NuChurch.

Where the Novus Ordo (N.O.) Mass is largely grey-haired, the TLM skews young (20's - 40's). Where the N.O. Mass has few children, the TLM has young families with 5-10 children. Where N.O. Mass attendees rarely observe certain sacraments and devotions (e.g. Confession, Friday-abstention from meat, Ember Days, etc.) these are absolutely de rigueur at the TLM.

Where the N.O. Mass priests rarely preach about sin and the loss of holiness (seriously, before I quit the N.O. Mass I heard homilies about Gilligan's Island episodes - I kid you not), the TLM regularly features serious homilies about the loss of Heaven, and maintaining holiness.

I could rant on for paragraphs but I'll stop instead. Use the link I posted to find a TLM near you and go experience the Mass of the Ages and it's built-in transcendent reverence.

Speaking of which, here's the first of a great trilogy about that here: https://youtu.be/-mIM_CrCYY4?si=GvCzpRLboFTPVtsz

Have you ever considered the Chartres Pilgrimage? 20,000 devout Trads in their 20's and 30's.

Unfortunately, it didn't last - partially due to long distance (he's overseas.)

My understanding of the 3/5th compromise and the way I've always been taught is that the Democrats wanted slaves to count as a full person while the northern Republicans wanted slaves to not be counted. It wasn't because the Republicans didn't believe slaves were persons, but because it gave power to the South to enshrine slavery. The Democrats of old wanted to count the slaves much like the Democrats of today want the illegals counted in the census to increase representation so they can dominate in Congress. The Democrats are playing the same games today that they have always played.

"1. Southern States’ Interests

The Southern states, where slavery was deeply entrenched, were primarily agrarian economies reliant on enslaved labor for their prosperity. They sought to maximize their representation in the new federal government, which would, in turn, safeguard their economic interests and political power.

2. Northern Concerns

In contrast, many Northern states had either abolished slavery or were in the process of doing so. They were concerned that if enslaved individuals were counted equally with free citizens, the Southern states would gain an unfair advantage in terms of representation. Therefore, they pushed for a compromise that would reduce the political influence of slaveholding states.

3. Balancing Act

The Three-Fifths Compromise represented a delicate balance between these opposing interests. It provided a means for Southern states to increase their representation while acknowledging the inherent injustice of treating enslaved individuals as less than full citizens."

The RATS started the KKK, wrote Jim Crow Laws and their utterly evil scheme of abortion was because the RATS considered black people to be non-human.

Just like the people who can’t make the connection between so many friends and family getting cancer and dying of heart attacks, strokes, and many other diseases- with the damned genetic injection. And many still got boosters even after they kept getting Covid. They are completely brainwashed into mass formation. The people operating this psyop understand human behavior, and tribalism, and most of all how to use fear to control people. That includes almost everyone in the media too, and most of the doctors. I don’t think most of our friends and family who are behaving this way are truly bad people. I have many deeply compassionate friends who still believe this BS. I am more angry at the government, the media, and especially the doctors who took an oath to do no harm. The whole mess is being steered by psychopaths. Some psychologists estimate that psychopaths (they don’t use the term sociopath much anymore) may represent 3 to 5% of our population. And it only takes a few to wreak havoc in the world.

CStone's avatar

I copied this from a post. The original poster shall remain anonymous, as I do not want to be the one to blast it out. But here it is, for your consideration:

If you are wondering why citizens are being turned away that are coming to help NC and TN - you'll want to hear my experience as someone who has been doing this as a private citizen for almost a decade.

I was able to get into, and out of Asheville. We brought food, water, fuel and other supplies as well as helped people affected by the floods, but there are reasons why they are not allowing outside help.

I cannot confirm the reasons why in NC, but i can tell you the reasons in other storms i have worked - i'll explain below.

Let me share with you the first disaster area that i finally realized that this was all about money.

In the FL Keys with Hurricane Irma, after Texas got hit with Harvey, we finished our efforts in Texas and were the first citizen team to make it to Key Largo.

The federal agencies had US1 shut down just South of Key Largo and wouldn't let anyone in or out, even though the road was okay to pass.

We explained to them that we had boats, Jet skis, food, water, chainsaws and fuel to bring these people.

They didn't care and wouldn't let us in.

It was night by that point and you rarely saw the lights of vehicles in the distance on the individual keys, meaning the emergency response teams from FEMA weren't even working, it was all quiet.

We decided that we would go in anyways.

We filled up the boats and jet skis with all that we could reasonably carry and went by water, around all their BS blockades and around their law enforcement presence on the water.

It was 87 miles by water to get to our first stop, Cudjoe Key and Sugarloaf Key.

When we arrived there we were greeted by a homeowner (for privacy, I won't name him, though we have video) who was elated to see us and all the supplies we brought, his house was in shambles.

We started offloading supplies on the shoreline and helping to get them into what was left of his house.

During that process, he explained to us that FEMA had set up a command center at a local high school on the island, but that they weren't doing anything to help the residents, not even bringing them WATER! (cont.)

Instead, he explained that they were driving around using a loudspeaker, telling people to stay in their homes. They weren't even helping the home owners with supplies.

I was skeptical at first while he was telling me all of this, but then he said something that broke my heart....

He told us that the people of the keys were all in despair, because they had just seen, weeks before, the overwhelming support for Texas with Hurricane Harvey, by the citizens of this country. He, and his neighbors on all of the keys, felt like Americans had forgotten about them completely, because at this point, FIVE DAYS after landfall, all they had seen was FEMA, and they were of NO HELP.

The residents were cut off from the outside world, no cellular, no internet, no way to contact anyone or hear of any efforts to try to help them.

The ONLY communication they had was from a local radio station on Sugarloaf Key, that was broadcasting on AM to the surrounding keys.

The man, after hearing that there were citizens trying to bring them help, but being refused entry by federal law enforcement was visibly upset. He, and his neighbors, really thought the country had abandoned them.

He insisted that we get into his waterlogged truck and that he would take us to that radio station so that we could go live on air, to tell the citizens trapped in the Keys that we, the American people, were there to help and that the government was trying to stop our efforts.

And that is exactly what we did.

After that, we were determined to help as many people as we could, but we were met with red tape throughout the whole process and time we were in the keys.

We finally we able to talk some authorities to let us down to the Faro Blanco Resort in Marathon towards the end of Boot Key. This was the same hotel where state and local authorities were staging their personnel and they were happy to see us.

I was able to coordinate several trucks full of supplies to be brought down to the EOC in Marathon. I was privy to the EOC meeting, BUT was informed in that meeting, that all of the semi trucks full of food, water and hygiene supplies were to be turned around and not allowed to be offloaded for distribution by the EOC.

THE REASON they gave us, was that these donations were not from companies on their "preferred vendors list" and that they would not accept them or give them to the residents of the keys impacted by the storm.

It was at that point that I realized, this is ALL ABOUT MONEY.

These 'preferred vendors" are getting part of the money being released by the state and federal govt for each disaster. In turn, some of the "vendors" make it on the list because a friend gets them on the list, and in return for getting ridiculously outlandish amounts of compensation for the services they render, they give kickbacks. (cont.)

So accepting outside donations, even though they are on location and can help people NOW, they would rather let people suffer so they can get their kickbacks.

This meeting solidified my resolve to help these people, regardless of what the greedy officials wanted, we were going to feed the lower keys that were being neglected.

I diverted ALL SEMI TRUCKS to the Faro Blanco Resort in Marathon and filled the entire first floor with pallets upon pallets of food, water and essential supplies and created a food pantry for residents to come and get anything, and however much they needed.

From local state troopers to the homeless, all were given wheel barrows and free reign to get anything they needed.

We also delivered supplies down to Big Pine Key. We helped establish the tent city on Big Pine Key. Big companies like Titos Vodka and Whelen just kept bringing trucks full of everything that was needed. When FEMA FINALLY started handing out boxes of canned goods (limited to one per household), we were filling cars full of food and supplies for people and pets.

There is so much more to the story in the Keys and further from there in other storms we worked- the common theme though, is that the federal government always tries to keep citizens from helping and the local authorities, the ones that live and work in the area are always happy to have outside help.

I call out to Elon Musk and anyone else who can monetarily help people like myself and those that work with me, who have the knowledge and the will to help those devastated by these disasters.

Help us side step the red tape and get the people the relief they need.

We are willing, and we are many, and we are ready.

That reason affords the Feds and intel assets the requisite tools to severely limit or entirely eliminate news dissemination from souces other than the State media...and most important the ability to control history via soft psyop means such as the so called "memory hole effect" with the ultimate goal of creating a societal prison without walls wherein the guards are represented by the Section 230 media and the Warden (Wardens?) represented by the selected...not elected...selected "democratic" representatives. Ultimately our Constitutional Republic is relegated to " just a historical document" created by misguided slave owners.... as explained...as explained...as explained...as explaind..as. explained... by the State Media to the good citizens of the Uniparty States of America.

Tulsa - and especially South Tulsa - was so Red that it was unimaginable that it could *ever* vote Blue.

Today, huge swaths of Tulsa, Oklahoma City and Norman are held by Democrats in the State House and Senate.

And let's be clear. This is not just the action of greedy oligarchs. This pales in comparison.

.................We are in a civil war and the USG is doing everything possible to attack us on every conceivable level!..............

They have planned and executed a genocide using the contrived plandemic to deploy a bio-weapon that has already killed and disabled untold millions.

They have used their "beam technology" to literally micro-wave people where they stood and burn the entire city to the ground in Lahaine.

They have imported tens of millions of military age "immigrants", funded them with our money and then when the stipends are cut off, they will become organized predators to be used to rape and pillage America.

They are using taxation and monetary inflation to destroy the American middle class and reduce us to simple serfs.

They have poisoned our children physically and mentally and instituted programs to end their lives.

They have poisoned our food supply, progressively cut off our energy supplies and are systematically spraying our skies with poisonous chemicals.

And that's just the domestic highlights from the last couple of years. Do I need to go back to 9/11? That was a bunch of Arabs with box cutters flying in aluminum tubes that never flew a plane before taking down the most iconic buildings in America THAT WERE DESIGNED TO ABSORB THE IMPACT OF AN AIRPLINE? SERIOUSLY?

People have got to understand that the USG Empire is the most comprehensively evil empire that has existed in recorded history. This has been enable by technologies that never existed before that empower them to invade EVERY aspect of our existence.

Look at it this way. Whether we want to acknowledge it or not, THEY are at war with us. Understand that they will use every opportunity and every power they have to attack us. If they have a technology that can fry you in your bed, THEY WILL USE IT. If they have the capability to enhance and direct weather systems including hurricanes, THEY WILL USE IT at every opportunity. And if I have to explain who "THEY" are, then you have been living under a rock.

Mr. Peabody’s coal train is an historically recent example of how to pillage a people and rape all the land. Conrad’s “Heart of Darkness” told the same tale of Belgian and British colonialism. Spain in 16th and 17th century Central America, the Portuguese in the east Pacific, the list goes on. If we want to change that culture, we must change hearts from their focus on greed to a focus on loving people.

I sympathize but your plan to eliminate human depravity and evil is not going to happen this side of Judgement Day. Now, because I believe in a Biblical eschatology of victory through our risen King, I will allow that the work of the Holy Spirit in history will move us toward that point you reference and perhaps that is when God the Father plans to bring all things under judgement and institute the new heavens and the new earth where both sin and death are done away with. But ours is the task before us as the work of the body of Christ on earth which I believe you are referencing.

Yessir. Per Christ’s final mandate, we must never stop making disciples, but in my worst imagining, a Great Persecution is more likely than a Great Awakening this side of the second coming. Let’s keep praying and working hard to believe it ain’t so.

It has been 2,000 years since Christ's ascension to the Throne and I expect there are many more "tribulations" ahead for the militant church over the next few thousand years. The one constant in all that time has been the expansion of Christ's kingdom on earth through the power of the Holy Spirit in the body of Christ against which no evil spirit can prevail.

I'm going to post this here as well as at the top as it is related..........

I am continuously impressed with Malone's substack. I need to pay closer attention.

This flood is not unprecedented. A flood of the same magnitude occurred in 1916.

The reason for this is simple. The topology of these mountains lends itself to this magnitude of flood given the type of continuous rain that we saw from the hurricane system which was taken advantage of by the weather manipulation technologies...................................................................

News From the Frontline of Helene

ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS

https://www.malone.news/p/news-from-the-frontline-of-helene

Now, I want you to look closely at these two videos documenting the activity of Next Rad stations across the country and compare them... then connect the dots in your mind.

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAO5xTtyHkg/?igsh=MWxqYzAxZjU4ZnZpNA%3D%3D

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAeJg6Su-Qk/?igsh=YWRhMmpzZjQyNTlv

Do you see the difference? In the first video, you see the pattern of Next Rad activity that typically occurs during night time hours relegated to highly populated areas. In the second video, the Next Rad activity expands to the sparsely populated areas in the central part of the country as Hurricane Helene comes ashore in FL. Helene was forecasted to take a track much further west than the track it actually took which would have dumped the rain out over the plains instead of the Appalachian mountain chain. What happened?

The method is simple. The weather system is seeded with chemtrail spraying of metals and other particulates. When the Next Rad system is ramped up, the energy from the Next Rad reacts with the particulates and pushes the system in the desired direction. Helene was purposely "directed" right up the mountain chain. Not quickly across the mountain chain, which would give it little time to drop all the rain, but up the mountain chain in a parallel fashion which kept the system continually raining on the topography thus producing the massive flooding.

Furthermore, before Helene came ashore, the center of the storm was observed to be emitting a purple glow that could be seen in the eye of the storm. This was from a Directed Energy Weapon (DEW) delivering energy directly into the storm thus causing the "rapid intensification" of the storm, which is apparently a 'thing' now days.

I saw the same thing happen with Hurricane Ian that was also forecasted to come ashore in the big bend of FL. But through a long series of 90 degree turns, first east and then back north, AT REGULAR INTERVALS, the storm was "directed" into the densely populated area south of Tampa. Storms do not make mechanical 90 adjustments to their tracks. This was not natural. It was man made.

This is but the tip of the iceberg. But it gives you the idea. Lahaina was NOT a one-off. They are using and will continue to use advanced technologies to wage their war on us, all the while telling us "Nothing to see here." Many of the other storms over the past few years have also been observed to exhibit unnatural behavior.

I don't even need to know if this particular text exchange is true to know that FEMA's conduct in the wake of the last few disasters has been wholly inadequate - to put it charitably. We can argue about intent and incompetence but the images coming out of the disaster zone and the fact that most MSM is ignoring the story tells me everything I need to know. FEMA is corrupt, the federal government is run by ghouls and opportunists and they will gladly break all the eggs they need to make their wicked omelet of technocracy and oligarchy.

This. All you need is to use a little bit of logic and stop waiting to be “told” what to believe. When you get your truth from what other men “say” rather than following your own intuition and ability to logically process ALL the info, you’re part of the problem. It’s not hard at all to see what’s true here when you look at all the stories on just X, but there are other non-corporate media to read too. The good reports are coming from the actual citizens helping NOT the government. The government is corrupt and hurting its citizens for nefarious reasons and the evidence is all around us.

Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things?

God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written, “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.”

37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

We have a useless POS federal government that would sooner sit back and let people die than lift one finger to provide help. The illusion of help came with Cackle McKnee Pads (stolen from Greg Gutfeld) condescendingly offering each family $750 for their troubles….if they need it.

HOWEVER! We have been praying daily for the people and know in our hearts that many will emerge with miraculous stories of how God provided and helped them! We will hear of miracles! We will hear of civilian helicopter rescues! We will hear of Cajun Navy rescues! We will hear of Americans giving of their dwindling financial resources to save other Americans lives and help them rebuild. There will be miracles from God despite our useless govt politicians.

All while we mourn the loss of others who didn’t experience miraculous rescues and provision. The ones the govt spit on. The ones who could have been rescued had the govt and local officials not given the order to stand down and let them die. May God be with the ones left behind, and their families as the devastation sets in. May The God who comforts us spread wide His wings and gather them close to His heart.

Expand full comment
Belling the Cat's avatar

It's a fair question and hard to assess exactly what's happening right now on the ground. However, it is FEMA's regular practice: they have pre-approved or "preferred vendors" for everything & routinely close access to areas they intend to 'manage', allowing only federalized aid, red-taped & at the pace of government contracting. They close roads (& now airspace) and 'unofficial' aid and S&R is turned back, as well as residents.

People have been complaining (and working around it) for decades, at least. It's one reason everyone should be aware that being evacuated is a gamble both ways. I guess some might buy the arguments (e.g., to keep opportunistic predators out) although it takes very little contact with the same people who were so thrilled to have power to lock everyone in their houses & kids out of school for a couple of years to doubt motivations are so pure.

At the same time, circumstances these days do tend to make too many of us leap to connect dots (very very red counties; very very blue Governor and Feds; very very tight race in NC, very soon) that, who knows, might be overreaching. Otoh it's difficult to think of a convincing argument that decisions or priorities of The Powers That Be are totally unaffected by these circumstances.

There's a lot to sift through in current reports, plenty on X and Substack, Rumble, et al. Some sources I find credible, others not at all, but enough for me on top of historical facts & institutional inertia for me to post as I did. YMMV.

Here's an X post that recites related experience over the years, fwiw: https://x.com/ryantyre/status/1841583311782568064

Be sure to check TikTok too! They have the most current news by the actual people on the ground.

I know it’s hard to accept. But there is absolutely no excuse for what they have failed to do in the first 5-7 days after the hurricane. At this point motive doesn’t matter to me, it’s pure evil even without motive. But there is motive, there always is. And it requires understanding all the MANY other things they have done and are still doing to see it clearly in the proper context.

Many of us here had our eyes opened to the horrific truths as far back as 4-5 years ago. I myself became aware two years ago. Just know you will have a MUCH easier time given how many of us are already awake and we help and embrace anyone who starts to wake up. It was much harder for those who were becoming aware four years ago and nobody around them saw or knew what they did. They were immediately pegged conspiracy theorists and even lost friends, family, and careers. But everything they found proved to be true and now more of us know it too. So you won’t be as alone as you would have been years ago. It’s not easy to accept all the bad that’s happening. I know! But it’s true that there is unprecedented evil in the White House right now, and behind the administration. And they have been operating a lot longer than the past four years. This current crisis is nothing compared to some other sh*t they have done, but it certainly is up there. But maybe it’s just the trigger needed to wake more people up to the truths being censored.

Oh no! I didn't mean to give the impression that I wasn't awake yet to the years of widespread wrongdoings; I should have been more specific to say I'm just starting to hear about the potential government land grab in NC and about the chaos with truckers and tire slashings, etc. It sounds like a Wild West out there, but I didn't want to just blindly believe that was all true based on ONLY the X comments on Chris Martenson's page.

I was a moderate liberal for many years until 2020 when I saw the truth early on in the scamdemic. I put in hundreds of hours listening to the naysayers but largely credit Bret Weinstein's Dark Horse podcast that he aired with Steve Kirsch and Robert Malone. That led me to real doctors like McCullough, Marik, Kory, and other freedom fighters, and so we all avoided the death vax in my family. My husband almost lost his job and we both lost friends and other family over the politics, unfortunately, but we have our health :)

This will be my first vote for Trump and I'm proud to do it! However, I'm more and more disgusted by the day at how low our deep state run government is sinking.

One other thing, this crisis doesn’t take evil to a whole new level. The Covid conspiracy did that. It was already at that level, this hurricane is just a continuation. The sheer number of unnecessary deaths (NOT due to actual Covid but due to the vaccine,) and destroyed lives because of this government’s lies and their gestapo tactics on our country and pitting us against each other is the peak of evil. I’m not sure if you’re awake to those truths or not, but if you think what they are doing with this hurricane is raising the level of evil, then you can’t have known the truth about Covid yet. If not, I recommend you read The Real Anthony Fauci by RFKJr, and that you seek out the many Substack publications about the evil behind the vaccine and the government and Pharma. Dr Malone, Dr Pierre Kory, Dr Mark Trozzi. Even fun authors like Jenna McCarthy and especially our dear Jeff Childer’s archives! Others can pipe in if they see my post and recommend more. These Substacks are by highly educated and credentialed people, some the best experts in their medical fields. They are not the crazies or whackos MSM tried to paint them as. If you want to be awake to the true evil, learn the truth about the vaccine.

what do you call "credible evidence"?

i am seriously requiring your definition.

I have seen photos snapped by a trucker who fortunately woke up and caught a slasher in the act. Would such a photo be enough for you?

maybe you want the video feed from the truck stop where it happened?

would you like to see and feel the slashed tires?

i seriously am asking. Not sarcastic.

there comes a point in ALL things where you simply must trust. this world is flawed AND run by liars, so some skepticism is necessary, but: there are VERY FEW things that you can be sure of.

You will have to live with that even if you don't want to.

I believe that at some time after I die, all my questions will be answered. That belief comforts me very much. I don't know if you have any such belief.

I get that you are asking; you are also sarcastic. Takes one to know one ;) and I seriously won’t capitulate to demands for a “definition”.

If you bothered to follow the convo above before interjecting i said clearly that i was only starting to hear about the allegations on the Chris Martenson tweet, which was about a private DM from an unidentified person. I sure hope that’s not evidence in your mind!

After Juju suggested a few sources to follow I’m now following those.

I’ve encountered a lot of people like you who seem offput by inquiry and questions. Just because you have a belief doesn’t make you any different than those on the left that want to shut down free inquiry. I’ll never stop questioning! So go argue with someone else.

You neglected to mention the fact that the "authorities" in Western NC are threatening private citizens with arrest if they try to fly their own helicopters in to rescue people, or if they try to drive in with supplies. I know this because I live close to there, and have family there. Not to mention a quick scan of threads on X will show you this. Something stinks to high Hell... very much like it did in Lahaina on Maui after the "wildfire" last year. Lahaina is still abandoned, to this day, and I dare say that's the plan for Appalachia. The idea is, cause or exacerbate some "natural" disaster, drive the population off their land or otherwise just kill them. Once abandoned, the State buys up the land and sells it for pennies to corporations or people with wealth. In the case of Western NC, there are huge lithium deposits there, and Piedmont Lithium has been trying to mine in the area for quite some time, but gets stopped by the folks living there. Well, not any longer, after this. Those folks are missing or dead and entire towns in the area are washed away. Not to mention the Agenda 2030 SDG map, that shows Appalachia as being a nature reserve, and to be uninhabited by people. Why don't people just wake up to this and stop pretending this isn't happening?

I assume the excuse FEMA is using is that those trying to attempt rescues might be at risk, or something?? It would be worth the arrest.

Who cares what their excuse is - it's an excuse to let people die who could be saved. Stopping people from helping, if they're willing to accept the risk and have the means, and threatening them with arrest for doing the right thing, is utter bullshit. You're effectively championing the death of people with that statement. Not to mention we have a 4th Amendment. It doesn't magically disappear because an "authority" says so. It doesn't magically disappear because anyone says so, for that matter. It's a natural law right.

What would happen if just regular people went to Chimeny (sp) Rock? You can get there w/ a 4 wheel drive. Set up tents, brought their own supplies, and waited. Do you think the .gov bulldozers would try and arrest them all when the alt-media would go crazy?

There are many instances of "the people" standing up to the .gov in our history. About 50/50 in outcome. Worth a try in today's world of instant news.

p.s. being armed helps.

"What happened was Elon was a lifelong Democrat until California’s power-drunk, out-of-control, barely-literate state politicians chased him out of California. Full stop. Musk was painfully red-pilled by the pandemic."

Also one of his kids was groomed into thinking he was the opposite sex. Desantis lead the country's Governors in effectively pushing back against globo tranny. That could account for Musk's early political support.

Yes, Elon is very incensed about California’s “right” to hide a child’s gender confusion from their parents.

Elon is simply a wolf in sheep's clothing. Forget what the man says, and look at what he's done. Brain chips, electric vehicles that track you everywhere (and everybody else, too) that are worse for the environment than gas vehicles, turning Twitter in to American "WeChat", Satanist, hangs with Peter Thiel, and the list goes on.

It's still important that they are saying the right things. If speech were not important, there would not be such a panic to censor us.

Everyone who speaks in public about the danger of the mRNA injections or the dissolution of the US border under Kamala is helping by example. This inspires others to also stand up and speak.

There is plenty of reason to remain wary of anyone who has so much money, influence, and power. There is no reason to throw all-in or all-out with any person. It’s my understanding that each human being is made in the image of God. Who are we to judge God’s purpose for any human? Moses and David, St Paul, immediately come to mind.

Many years ago I heard this line, and try to remember it: the line between good and evil runs right down the middle of each of us. We are each a mixed bag. I have been horrified see certain dormant traits that emerged in my corporate life, particularly in simulation exercises. I know right from wrong, and yet…self reflection inevitably leads to recognizing the log in our own eye. And yet, I still judge, and often harshly (especially those pushing communism). Working on it!

He wrote that his son was killed-dead. That's pretty heavy stuff.

Musk was told his "boy" would commit suicide if he didn't agree to the "change".

He grieves over the loss of son daily.

THAT's what red-pilled him-majorly

I warned you the other day didn’t I, Dr. Linda?! Personally after my road rage crash being rammed from behind multiple times, i would not advocate Trump bumper stickers. It’s not a matter of courage or free speech. It’s a matter of personal safety and not becoming an assault victim on the road.

Find other more effective ways to help by ballot chasing, donating funds, etc.

Maybe we need bumper stickers that say:

"End leftist violence, vote for Trump"

Then at least they might think a bit.

I live in a liberal college town in a red state (Lawrence, KS). I had a Kennedy sticker on my previous car, but it's kind of embarrassing showing up at the county Republican party meetings with that bumper sticker.

I've got a "God Bless America" sticker right now. I figure not many democrats would have that, but it's a lot softer than a "Trump" sticker.

BTW, one of the most popular stickers around here says "LFK". It stands for "Lawrence F***in Kansas", the implication being that Kansas in general is a hellhole.

Anyone else thinking that JD Vance published a memoir at 23 specifically because he wanted a career in politics and wanted to tell his story on his own terms, rather than allowing the media to pick and choose the salacious parts to release during an election? If that’s true, that’s genius forward thinking.

He’s also dealing in truth. When you know your subject really well and have had a lot of time to debate it, and it also happens to be based on the truth, it’s very easy to discuss it smoothly and not misspeak. “Mr. Walz,” the story plainly admitted, “has a history of misspeaking, misstating facts and otherwise getting over his skis.” That’s what happens with any politician that has to “keep stories straight”. When it’s the truth it’s easy to keep it straight, just keep speaking the truth! Even dishonest politicians who have debated endlessly their agenda get tripped up when it’s based on deception and outright lies. That’s why Vance is so good, he knows the truth is the easiest road to take. It sets you truly free.
