The Evil's code is that they say the opposite of what they mean. One you get it and think the reverse it all makes sense.

Also they use acronyms to communicate in talking and word scrambles. All the typical Communication Codes of a Club or Enemy.

They have so much fun pulling this crap over our heads and destroying the country while making themselves vastly rich.

I was explaining to my grandson that the men who built the tower of Babel were so proud that they thought they could reach God and so God confused their language. My son remarked that here we are with "Pride" and our language is all confused...

Yes, the elite have used steganography for eons. Some, like Hollywood types believe they are in the circle, but are only minions. Johannes Trithemius is the father of modern day steganography. Like anything, a secret way to communicate can be used for good or evil. The inversion of information is a way to confuse and distort, keeping humanity from their divinity and power. Passing the test of intiation through discernment is how we rise above the deception.

Many fighting already but it’s suppressed. My Armenian friend in Northern California is organizing his group of angry dads to protest against school board there. So there are people fighting back it’s just that reporting is scarce and opposition is suppressed.

Expand full comment

God Bless the Armenians! My daughter, somewhat a victim of the "wokeness" of her generation, is living and working in LA, in the film industry, and given the situation with crime, drug abuse and homelessness, and her living circumstances worried me. But, just recently she moved into a mostly Armenian neighborhood, and wow, it is so much better. It feels safe, it's clean, families push baby carriages, and there are trees and sidewalks without discarded needles, trash and addicts.

And then a group of these fathers went to the local school to protest the indoctrination of their young children in sexual subjects. Antifa came to intimidate, lol, and those REAL MEN tossed them out on their ears. Thank goodness for actual Fathers!! God Bless the Armenians!!

Expand full comment

We in our household were delighted to see the Armenian dads going at it.

I wish more people realized that fighting over the school board is a fool's game, though; school choice, so that people can afford to abandon government-run schools, is the only way out of their being indoctrination camps. There might be small wins here and there, but normal people can't stay focused for years, and if the government-run system is left in place, the Left will continue its march. They still own the "schools of education," which train the teachers, the teachers' unions, which in large part set the parameters in various "educational" domains, the big textbook publishers, etc., and the teachers who are already in the system can hardly be fired (regardless of occasional individuals who are).

"The system of K-12 government schooling that exists today clashes with the political, economic, social, and cultural traditions of the United States." (and this is not accidental, imho.)

@jchilders98 - I'm a retired dentist. Often root canals are not completed in 1 day because of the level of infection. If you take a massively infected tooth and complete the root canal in 1 day you end up with a patient in a lot of pain as the pressure of the pus builds up. You start the root canal on the first day and allow it to drain overnight, assessing on the second day whether or not it is ready to be closed up.

Same day crowns are made everyday with 3d printing

Expand full comment

Actually it isn’t 3D printing but the use of a 3D cad cam and then a milling machine to mill the crowns. I am a dental assistant and we make permanent crowns in our office in a 1 1/2 hr appointment.

Expand full comment

My dentist uses a 3D mapping wand - akin to a draftsman's CAD system - to make a topographical map of the stub needing a crown, and all adjoining teeth. He emails the data files to a lab in a nearby large city. The finished crown (or partial; this technique appliws to both) arrives by UPS a few days later. My wife and I have had five total crowns and partials done by this method, and every one has been a perfect fit right out of the box.

A year or two ago, I had a crown that needed to be replaced with a new crown. My dentist removed the old crown and used a machine to fashion a new permanent crown while I waited. The whole process took less than 2 hours, as I recall. I suppose it was some type of special 3D printer made especially for dentists, like Barbara said.

Oral health is directly connected to your biological health. Weston A Price discusses this in his writings. Maybe the bigger story is how healthy is Biden? He’s a faller and struggles with piecing simple thoughts together and now supposed root canal? Maybe he should visit a biological dentist.

I was of the mind that root canal’s are history having been replaced by dental implants. Is a root canal tooth really a dead tooth just awaiting an infection or abscess?

Expand full comment

I follow a dentist on Instagram, Dr Kelly Blodgett, https://instagram.com/blodgettdentalcare?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

He says root canals are one of the leading causes of mysterious illnesses due to the root being porous. They leach bacteria and parasitic infection back into the body. His case studies are really interesting.

Expand full comment

Exactly. Never get a root canal. Instead, pull the tooth and get an implant. They will argue with you about it because they make a lot of money off root canals. And the root canals don't last very long. Then you have to start all over.

My buddy had a mouth full of bad teeth. Genetics. He had to fire his dentist because he insisted on replacing all his teeth with root canals. I told him the subclinical infections from all those root canals leeching into his body would degrade his immune system and he would probably get a degenerative disease as a result. He found a dentist that replaced all his teeth with implants and he is very happy.

If you have the funds for implants - friends of mine have spend $10,000 on a mouthful of implants--I don't have that kind of change to do it. I'm thankful I still have all my own teeth--except for TWO molars (lower on the left side).

If the Ukraine/Russia war was a kick in the gut (crazy inflation, threats to dollar hegemony), you just know the Taiwan/China war will be even more epic.

Thing is NATO is already out of gas, and their fat/gay/coddled militaries are not ready to take on both wars simultaneously.

Russia knows this and so they can afford to drag it out, while NATO wants to wrap it up. Meanwhile China is readying for the 'deplatform' treatment. They also have hypersonic missiles that can sink every US carrier.

Wish I had a link (bad form, apologies) but have heard him say he wouldn't mind or some such manufactured humility way of expressing that, yep, he's after/angling for some administration position. This was a while ago. Early to mid year 2 maybe. Fast. My spidey sense is on about the dude.

Not really. MD teaches next to nothing about virology. Like not even 1 semester.

I realize he has a MSc but I think that was " given " ? Much later.

With another honorarium type thing.

Sounds like he was taken under someone's arm in Cally early on, a type of apprenticeship. Perhaps for the Masters. Interesting he did not go for the PhD....

RM,

Malone had numerous contracts with DARPA as Project Manager and Capture Manager regarding the Contracted Bioweapon " Counter Measure " poison shot" forced" on many many. Not really forced because it was NOT life or death choice except for those poor souls who needed a transplant organ and ONUS and the Hospital screwed.

I posted copies of his Contract on his Substack for all the Libtards that were in love with him and kissing his ....He and his peeps/perps kicked me off ( with a prorated refund ). The posting had no words, just a copy of the Contract that I got from another connected substack writer. Interesting.

" ... that the White House’s β€œcelebration” featured the so-called Pride flag carefully located in between and higher than two U.S. flags surrounding it, which was itself a grotesque violation of flag etiquette, and metaphorically suggested that Pride governs the United States."

Specifically,

"(f) When flags of States, cities, or localities, or pennants of societies are flown on the same halyard with the flag of the United States, the latter should always be at the peak. When the flags are flown from adjacent staffs, the flag of the United States should be hoisted first and lowered last. No such flag or pennant may be placed above the flag of the United States or to the United States flag’s right."

Our small southern very red town hosted a 'Pride' observation earlier this week. It was basically a couple of kiosks with rainbow flags. At a safe distance next to them were four people 'protesting' the event holding "Jesus is Lord" and similar placards.

What struck me was that beyond the displays, no one seemed particularly to care in a town where stars-and-bars license plates still can be found on trucks and cars. I'm still unsure whether that is good or bad.

Time to make sure you have at least one Bible in print in your possession. Soon the online versions will have changed words to reflect the agenda with AI. Remember...there are still people programming the information. If you don’t know your Bible, at least enough to recognize the counterfeit, you will have trouble.

They change definitions of words as we have seen. The definition of β€œvaccine” was redefined. Remember? Do not forget what they have done. Generations upcoming will only know the word β€œvaccine” by their current version of the dictionary. The old versions will be ousted. Only the ones who know the truth now, will be able to speak the truth later.

Is it really that far fetched to think the Bible online....not in actual print in your possession.....will have words changed and whole verses changed without us even knowing? KNOW YOUR BIBLE. The new print versions will also be changed eventually. It’s coming people. Be ready.

That and the drowning scene earlier, when he was the only one who cared that she was drowning, made him realize what had happened to humanity.

It's a translation of ancient languages, it's only to be expected that different translators would prefer different English renderings. That said, some of the new versions ARE truly terrible, so one should certainly do the research - but many are also quite decent, depending on the reader's preferred style and degree of "literalness" (ie, word-for-word translation versus translating an entire equivalent phrase).

Although there's also nothing wrong with sticking to a known trusted version if one already has a copy.

I sat in a car last night with husband who must have some form of talk radio on. It was Mitch Albom, a long time broadcaster on WJR out of Detroit. Albom has written some good books, β€œTuesdays with Morrie”, which was also made into a movie. He’s always been a Liberal, but I forgot how much disdain he has for President Trump until I listened to him last night. The whole monologue, and I can’t even call it journalistic opinion was on the indictments coming out of Florida on the Trump raid. He and his cohort’s elitist disdain and snarky jokes taken as truth because it was reported by the media as such, about finding classified documents hidden in a bathroom at Mar-a-lago shows just how low we have sunk in any kind of media integrity. The fact that they made jokes about how stupid it was to try to fool the FBI by hiding documents in a bathroom proves how incompetent he is. Then they proceed to have a DA on from some western district who describes how serious these β€œobstruction of Justice” charges are, and that the Trump appointed judge who ruled some of the stuff inadmissible was overturned by a 3 panel set of Republican judges, so absolutely no bias there.

That these people can believe the most absurd accusations after all this country has been through is beyond belief. How does anyone trust anything about the DOJ any longer and it’s police arm, the FBI?

Of course, these new indictments were timed to come out just as crusty, old Chuck Grasley was revealing the Biden bribery scandals. It is a certainty. And the propaganda media ran with it, on all sides and ignored Biden. Root canal? More likely hiding out from questioning.

As you certainly know as a Michigander, Mitch Albom started out as a very talented, even gifted if I can use that word, sports writer with the Free Press back in the day. My Dad worked at the Freep and Mitch's residency there (along with Richard Guindon, Bob Talbert, and others) was a source of deep pride during what was once a true battle of hearts and minds between the Detroit News and the Free Press. Both were great papers when journalism was still a thing.

Mitch has written some good books and sold a lot of them and he's a smart guy. Sadly, he's evolved over time into just another a leftist ideologue (in a progressive's clothing). The last time I heard anything from Mitch, it was a very pro-Whitmer screed during the peak of her administration's COVinsanity.

Sadly, Mitch still carries a lot of weight, particularly in Michigan. His opinion on Trump and a lot of other issues is reflective of liberal intelligentsia thought in the affluent Detroit suburbs, Lansing, Flint, and in Ann Arbor, the places that spawned Michigan's transition from a republican state in the Bill Milliken mold to its evolution into Massachusetts on the Great Lakes.

Expand full comment

I am from mid Michigan, two hours north of Detroit. I often forget that Liberal rules in the Detroit area, though I don’t believe it is as strong as the media wants us to believe. Yes, Albom was considered a premier sports writer back in his day. When I see this complete collapse into Leftist ideology, I wonder if he has completely gone under or been coerced over the years. His and every media personality out there is to incite, not inform. Sad…

My family and I lived in and I worked in one of the more affluent Detroit suburbs and we still have acquaintances there. I was shocked at the level of overt Biden support during 2020, COVID narrative acceptance, and support for Whitmer prior to the 2022 gubernatorial election. But I also saw that in Flint, Saginaw, Bay City, Lansing, and more obviously in Ann Arbor being the home of the leftist think tank at U of M.

Mitch was always a liberal. That said, it's hard to understand how otherwise intelligent people can devolve into becoming ideological parrots.

I wonder the same about people I know. Could the manipulation of what some people see, hear, and read be so complete, so competent, that they are 'brainwashed' over time? But what about their souls - it seems to me that for the most part our 'side' criticizes policy and action, whereas the other criticizes (or worse) the *person* (or perhaps it only appears that way, as I try to peer around the log blocking my vision). It's clear that the Left categorizes people and 'others' those they want to be in the out-group, but I see a spillover into public comments about individuals who are outwardly similar such as Trump and Biden.
