The Nashville trans school shooter’s manifesto was released by the Tennesse Star. Audrey Hale was deeply disturbed and had been visiting Vanderbilt psychiatric care since she was 6. MSM is not covering the manifesto in order to memory hole another narrative violation. Demons are real. Pray for families of the 6 Christians she murdered.

"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Ephesians 6:12 NIV) Once again the Bible, written TWO THOUSAND years ago, is strikingly relevant and truthful. Just speak Jesus.

Cheryl, did you get more coffee? I think it was either NBC or ABC several nights ago covering the CDC's effort to get more children vaccinated (showing a young child with 3 band-aids on a young child's shoulder) in an effort to battle the misinformation affecting vaccination rates. It's what's never mentioned in these CDC news infomercials that is so telling.

Demons are real and many work for Pharma and the CDC. Since there have been no safety studies, you have to wonder if a six year old has suffered brain damage due to inflammation of the brain, aka: encephalitis, and what parts of the brain were most effected neurologically. But everyone continues to believe the myth that vaccines have saved us from polio.

LamedVav disavows all vaxes.'s avatar

Polio just means gray which is the color of the brain cells after brain tissue is preserved. The axons and dendrites that connect the cells are coated with fat and are white.

So basically, every injury to any brain cell is polio. DDT killed brain cells in the 50s and 60s. President Gerald Ford’s swine flu vaccine killed brain cells and they called it GuillenBarre.

As a senior now, I can’t remember any of my schoolmates having autism ADHD ADD. None were deadly allergic to peanuts, or other natural foods (milk, eggs). We played in water straight from the hose, we didn’t wear bike helmet and definitely not car seatbelts. Amazingly we all survived and still managed to live a fairly fruitful life.

"Colt Gray" (if that's his real name as Jeff C Likes to quip) is likely another groomed transgender nut case created for these kind of events. Show me a transgender who is not deeply mentally disturbed and urgently needing help to return to a normal biological, psychological state of being.

But these events, I believe, are conjured to take our minds off what is really important like elections, war, economic well being, etc. While we are over run by these, what effective actions are we taking on those.

Years ago I used to look into these shootings. A lot of them turned out to be false flags complete crises actors. Nearly all, if not all ... were staged on Blue controlled turf ... and that was a big red flag, at least for me. And I'd say from the evidence, Sandy Hook and Orlando were totally staged. Las Vegas, whatever is was, totally disappeared from the news cycle and is never mentioned to this day ... and there is a reason for that. Charlottesville in Virginia near where I once used to live, also Blue controlled, is highly questionable. The tip off there for me was the photographs of many, many parked buses used to bus in event 'participants'.

Given the above, I don't take any of this stuff at face value anymore. And saying that does not mean that bad things can't or don't happen. And saying that doesn't mean that a mixture of things is not possible, real and bad as well as fake. Saying this is just a caution to buying into things and then speculating as to what we either don't know, can't know ... in whole or in part.

If one were incautious, for example, one would likely to buy into the entire bio-weapon C19 campaign non-thinkingly. Always be skeptical of anything in the news cycle.

J6 was precisely of the same type of scripted effort. You might wonder how I can so definitively say that.

Does anyone really believe that military veterans, expertly trained in the art of war, would go there to have an "insurrection" and do it without a plan and without arms and the entirety of congress and benedict pence walk away without a fucking scratch? It was all done by actors.

Similarly, if masks work, why do biolab workers suit up in astronaut like, full body over pressurization suits instead of just wearing cloth masks...

I am on the same page.

Every time one of these active shooter events would occur,

I would search the internet for false flag shooting.

The internet sleuths would typically have these events

deconstructed within hours. The official narrative

never adds up, and they are reusing the same script over and over.

They always have the same green screen interviews with well spoken

youths, that recite their agenda lines perfectly.

At this point, I do not believe anything.

Sandy Hoax, Las Vegas, Boston Bombing, Shoe Bomber, these are all faked events going all the way back to the Manson Family when the CIA was infiltrating the Hippie counter culture and the Laurel Canyon music scene.

Nothing is real, I am afraid to say.

Nothing is real ... that is, which counts. And with insanity being a flight into the unreal, we are all to some degree insane. And hence, a film like The Matrix registers powerfully with us deep down at some intuitive level of consciousness.

And so, the Elite Establishment has fashioned a Virtual Reality for the vast herd of humanity. This is especially true of the Western World, but also countries in the non-West have their problems too. The will to control appears to be an innate human fetish.

The problem is that false flag does not necessarily mean that 'nobody gets killed'. C19 Health Terrorism and 911 were false flag attacks and plenty of people got killed.

Donna, the problem is that 'common sense' is in the eye of the beholder. The 'gun control lobby', for example, is filled with 'common sense' up to the gills ... or so they say. But also, so is the anti-gun control lobby.

I once asked the head of the Virginia Citizens Defense League, the most effective pro-gun lobby in the state, if he was doing Civil Rights Law or Unalienable Rights Law in lobbying the General Assembly or litigating in the courts. The VCDL lobby head correctly answered civil rights law. And it ought to transparently clear that civil rights law is amenable to 'common sense'. But whose 'common sense'?

Although the distinction is not clear to most people, whether civil or unalienable rights, I can properly argue that civil rights law as practiced these days is always extra-constitutional.

I tend to be an Occam's Razor first.

I can't imagine a close someone else suggesting, "What you need to do is by Colt an AR-15."

It is disgustingly obvious how the Democratic News Services, i.e. NBC, CBS, ABC exploit this family and societal tragedy for whatever the D's need, to push their agenda down the road.

It is so clear, the media doesn't care that they have so little of public's trust, that they can push whatever narrative they want, because everyone at C & C doesn't matter and can be ignored as if we don't exist.

A Midwestern Doctor (Substack): The Evidence SSRI Antidepressants Cause Mass Shootings

Anna T's avatar

The mention of Effexor brought back a memory. In 2007, after two agonizing years of debilitating hot flashes (every 2-3 hours, 5 minutes of a dripping sweat) from tamoxifen, my oncologist prescribed a low dose of Effexor XR. It did ameliorate some of the hot flashes but I felt like I had no emotions. It was very odd and I mentioned it to my onc. He told me I was still dealing with the trauma from the breast cancer diagnosis and treatments. After about a year of Effexor XR, I decided to go off of it and had to drop down to the half dose for a week or two. Once it was out of my system, I felt like my normal self, even with the hot flashes. And this was after only ONE YEAR on the Effexor. HArd to imagine how people feel after years and years on SSRIs.

Anna—I had the same issue with Effexor, prescribed after my husband left. I felt numb but could go to work, sleep, etc. When I was ready to start feeling again, my FNP discouraged me from stopping it. I insisted and it took about 3 months for me to feel ā€˜normal’.

I was prescribed Effexor after a crisis. It caused what I can describe only as "brain zaps" and visual disturbances and when I complained about them was told to continue. I weaned off as quickly as I could. And I agree, the main effect was just a mental numbness: no sadness but also no joy.

I don’t know that it would be an alternative to melatonin. GABA works great to help gently calm your mind if you’re keyed up and can’t go to sleep.

Just like those who need to wake up to the Covid fraud, we need to wake up to the cannabis fraud too. Lots of misinformation out there with pharma still pushing the buttons. Of course, if someone finds it offensive, I understand that, but then further research should be done. However, just like many of us have been wrong before about vaccines, we may also be wrong about this.

ID Requirement: While Georgia does not explicitly require you to submit a copy of your ID with your absentee ballot application, the process of obtaining an absentee ballot involves verifying your identity through your voter registration record, which typically includes your driver's license number or state ID number. If you do not have these, you might need to provide other forms of ID during the application process.

Recent Changes and Discussions: There have been discussions and legislative actions towards enhancing voter ID requirements for absentee voting, suggesting a move towards more stringent verification processes. However, as of my last update, the core requirement remains the signature match, with additional ID verification potentially required during the application phase or for first-time voters who registered by mail.

Public Sentiment and Official Statements: From posts on X (formerly Twitter) and official statements, there's an emphasis on ensuring only eligible voters cast ballots. This includes discussions on the effectiveness of signature verification and calls for more robust ID checks, reflecting a broader debate on election integrity.

The signature match is the hoax. Where in the rest of the universe can you conduct a transaction without producing verifiable identity. They had to have "signature match" in order to enable wholesale fraud. It could easily be stopped by requiring every mail in voter to go to a county office - during the criminally long "early vote" period and produce ID in front of a county notary public, then sign the signature envelope, notary cosigns, and ballot goes in protected ballot box, (also preventing the weaponized USPS to ever get their hands on them.) For those truly disabled, the county elections department is required to provide a "mobile election board", a team who can go to people's residence, verify ID, co sign and retrieve the ballot.

Remember also, this is a 14th Amendment Equal Protection Clause Violation. Compare to a walk in voter, who must present Identity before ever getting a ballot to vote and the ballot remains in the custody of the voter and elections department for the entire process. Full identity and full chain of custody! But neither with the mail in fraud process they've built.

From Grok on mail-in ballots: In Georgia, mail-in ballots, referred to as absentee ballots, are allowed under specific circumstances:

Voters Who Are Unable to Attend Their Polling Place on Election Day: This includes those who will be out of their county during early voting and on Election Day, those who are ill or disabled, or those who are 65 years of age or older.

Military and Overseas Voters: Georgia, like all states, complies with the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA), allowing military personnel and overseas citizens to vote by mail.

Voters with Certain Disabilities: Individuals with disabilities that prevent them from voting in person can apply for an absentee ballot.

Voters Who Are Hospitalized or Their Spouse/Child is Hospitalized: If a voter or their immediate family member is hospitalized, they can vote absentee.

Voters Serving Jury Duty or as Election Officials Outside Their County: These individuals can also vote by absentee ballot.

I remember I wrote to Allegheny County GOP to complain when former Sen. Toomey (RINO) voted for impeachment. I was met with a word salad response from Allegheny County GOP.

The Allegheny County GOP also agreed to drop boxes for mail in ballots. Gee, they are mail in ballots, like you just have to drop them in a mailbox. And just recently a PA judge ruled that having the incorrect date on a mail in ballot is OK. Totally ignoring the fact that any legal document becomes invalid if the date is incorrect.

The entire cast of deep-state operatives and MSM propagandists are well-rehearsed and still on duty (Stelter, back on duty) to smear and censor anyone anti-Harris and pro-Trump and to steal another election—all in the name of protecting democracy.

Remember this:

"When the mainstream media and the ruling class decide to pick on a critical issue, it is usually for two reasons: first, the issue is serious enough and is affecting their interests, and therefore the narrative must be controlled to ensure that the results are in their favor. Second, in doing the former, the ruling class gets to strictly filter and manage the narrative on what needs to be said about any given topic; which ā€˜experts’ are given the stage to speak; and whose voices are excluded from debates, or even defamed and slandered, if necessary"

PA needs a lot of help, and you are so right about small-talk socializing distracting from serious political issues.

I attended meetings for over a year and what was just so shocking is the degree of cluelessness about big issues like immigration, inflation and cultural rot (e.g. transgender and critical race theory).

Again, we're in NY so none of it matters on the national level and even on the local level, our demonic legislature is majority Democrat. I do like our local reps, though. Both are very receptive and engaged but I think they are essentially powerless to effect change right now.

Hi Reasonable,

I submit the most important action we can take is turning out the vote for Trump and down ticket. We must do this in such a way as to minimize the opportunity to commit ballot fraud. What does that mean?

a. Get a list of Republicans and Independents from your local party Chairman for your precinct.

b. Make a plan to contact everyone, either in person, by email, by postcard on that list.

c. Make a recommendation of whom they should vote for in each race.

d. Tell them if they are voting by mail to not put their ballot in the USPS where it stands a strong change of being intercepted and changed by a weaponized USPS and ballot fraudsters. They are counting on the lethargy of thousands of "mail in voters" to not vote so they can instead vote for them. Keep in mind also that the fraudsters know precisely who gets a ballot and doesn't normally vote (they know this because the record is publicly available). Instead encourage everyone to do one of these actions:

1. Hand carry their ballot to a county secured ballot box inside a county office. Do this one or two days MAX before election day to minimize the fraudsters ability to manipulate the vote.

2. Hold on to their ballot until election day, then carry it to a poll center, tell an election worker you want to vote in person, ask them to verify someone hasn't already "voted" for you (this is why it is so important to have your ballet with you for proof), call over a poll watcher so they can document, if an election worker says you have already voted. Destroy the ballot in their presence and vote in person where chain of custody and Identity are strongest.

e. Offer to help anyone who needs it, a ride to the ballot box or the poll center.

f. For the truly disabled, contact your local party and find out how to get the County's Elections Office "mobile election board" to come to their address to receive their ballot

f. Accept that due to complacency and lack of action, there is no way we can prevent machine fraud during the "counting" of votes. However, we should be prepared to be part of a hand count team. Here in AZ, there is a movement preparing for exactly that eventuality. Read about it at https://handcounttrainingaz.com . As we do not know how God will help us prevail, we should be prepared to hand count.

g. PRAY day and night, solemnly and wholeheartedly, that God use each of us as Instruments of His Will.

That’s the ticket, RL. Hold me accountable. Somewhere in this string is my response to ā€œHow?ā€ for Suez. I like encouraging people, probably because I like being encouraged. A few years ago, I volunteered to poll watch and have clerked or judged in every election since. I’m on the schedule for every day of early voting. You remind me that I need to ask my county GOP rep to let me observe the final count in November. I’ve been attending county GOP and Libertarian Party meetings and getting a feel for the cliques and influencers. I ask questions, dumb and sometimes otherwise. Now that I’ve irritated my local election administrator with questions about citizenship verification, I need to wade in over my head and get some answers from my Secretary of State’s office. Yes, I’m a little intimidated, but I’m getting better at relying on my source of power: ā€œThis Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good successā€ (Joshua 1:8).

We live in a society that believes all should be perfect and we should be happy all the time. The world is full of sin committed by sinners. And each of us is a sinner. We expect that no one else in the world suffer, yet everyone that I know has dealt with some suffering. In the book of Job 2:10 we see a man who suffers more than any other than Christ, saying , "Shall we indeed accept good from God and not accept adversity. In all this Job did not sin with his lips." As Jesus says in John 16:33 "These things I have spoken to you so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world.ā€ We have to realize that there is only one place to find peace and that is in Jesus Christ. In Philippians 4:6, the Apostle Paul (who suffered greatly during his life as an apostle) said, "Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

Yes, this paradigm has been shifting for a while though you wouldn't know it based on the number of scripts written for SSRIs and the slavish devotion to them. There was a study where one group of patients took SSRIs and one group took anti-inflammatories (such as ibuprofen) and they found that patients in the latter group reported significant relief of symptoms when compared to the first group, suggesting inflammation is a contributing factor to depression.

Ministry of Truth's avatar

There is even research into serotonin blockers that seem to do better on depression although that may have other detrimental effects - messing with hormones can be dangerous. One major cause of inflammation might be polyunsaturated fatty acids, specifically linoleic acid that is the precursor to some inflammatory substances and the metabolic end-products are also toxic (aldehydes etc.). Guess what type of fat is recommended by the government?

Exercise has also been shown to be superior to SSRIs in studies.

Diet is 100% a factor in almost every inflammatory process! Which in turn affects one’s psychological and neurological state.

My personal story with this is mind blowing, even to me.

An interesting way to see it is in animals. It is much easier to control all the factors in a dog, making them perfect examples of how fast we can reverse these things.

All the consequences of diet played out more obviously in humans first, but the domesticated dogs have caught up. Behavioral issues (& of course health) are no longer just a result of lack of socialization or training, rather a direct result of toxic input. The switch to kibble and canned food for pets has been disastrous. I have seen them mirror autism, ADD/ADHD, OCD & severe anxiety that is not corrected unless drastic changes are made & a holistic approach is taken.

Changing how I approached caring for & treating dogs caused me to recognize the need to do it for myself!

Nutritionist here, with her head in the research literature of most physical and mental health topics. I recently came across a very interesting hypothesis regarding histamine, serotonin, and mass shootings, and this most recent shooting fits the picture: a young man (probably on an SSRI or SNRI) committing his violent act in the fall, a season with a low pollen count. It appears that there is a connection between reduced histamine levels (low pollen count therefore low allergy potential in the fall) and the relative increase in serotonin levels in those on meds, i.e., that histamine and serotonin influence each other. Serotonin, if you all haven't already read, is NOT the happiness neurotransmitter. It is generally associated with aggression, especially in serotonin syndrome, where it's unusually high.

Jeff C's avatar

While I appreciate the content of your post, the prelude "nutritionist here" (or frankly "anything else here") before speaking is off-putting IMO. It's an appeal to authority implying that we should more-highly respect your opinion due to your credentials. It comparable to how people put PhD in their signature line expecting it to give their opinion some unwarranted authority.

In fact, the nutritionist title signals to me that you have been educated by the junk food industry. Nutritionists brought us the absurd food pyramid which turned America in a nation of obese diabetics. The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics has Coke, Pepsi, and other processed food manufactures as their biggest "corporate partners". They've backed off on that some after being shamed for it (they didn't do it on their own) but they are still completely captured and won't call out processed garbage. In fact. they still recommend it.

I know your post had nothing to do with this, and had valuable info on the destructive nature of psychotropics. (Which are also pushed by captured medical associations, such as the AMA, AAP, and APA.) However, starting off with that you are a nutritionist, without disavowing the incredibly destructive advice being propagated by nutritionists for decades, harms your credibility not helps it. I suspect I'm not alone in thinking this.

Jeff references his legal credentials as part of why we should have faith in some of his analysis. Should he not do that when he's clearly the legal expert?

My point is, many of us DO have expertise from decades of experience in a subject. Shouldn't folks know the context for the opinion and then decide to listen or not?

I understand the credential misuse in our society. But I think no in trusted places, we should know the background and decide whether or not to trust the message.

In Jodi’s defense, some of us can endure the exercise in groupthink indoctrination that is modern academia and go on to discern fact from narrative.

Expand full comment
Jeff C's avatar

I don't mean to attack Jodi and hopefully it didn't come across that way. I agree with just about everything she said regarding SSRIs.

The point I was tying to get across is that referring to credentials isn't very persuasive in this day and age. Between academic-industry-media corruption and general absurdity (that Australian break dancer had a PhD in some ridiculous dance field), credentials only mean that people are good at memorizing and repeating what they were told, not thinking for themselves. And often what they are told isn't true but false information used to advance corporate interests. The behavior of the entire medical establishment during Covid made that pretty clear. They were told numerous lies by those in authority (severity, no early treatment, masking effectiveness, mRNA vax safety) yet they repeated it ad nauseum with zero critical thought.

The corruption in Nutrition is legendary, Coca-Cola should not have a say in what is good for us. They shouldn't be within a hundred miles of people writing and propagating dietary guidelines. Yet there they are, and very few with "credentials" will call it out. Credentials are not an indicator of independent thought, it's usually the opposite particularly if they are flaunted.

Rather than pointing to credentials (which is presumptuous and counterproductive) persuade us with knowledge and creative thought. Demonstrate that you know what you are talking about, have given it serious thought, tested it to see if it's true, and aren't just repeating academic dogma.

IMO, that is 100% the point of the fake polls they keep putting out there. Polls where they oversample Dems and overestimate Dem turnout in their likely voter models.

They're intended to manufacture the illusion that the race is close and then close that fake gap with mail-in ballot fraud.

They're trying to convince us that Kamala Harris - an historically unpopular figure who couldn't muster enough support to stay in the race until the first vote happened - is suddenly a popular heroine, supported by all. The woman responsible for the border crisis that is the #1 issue according to voters is now the most popular candidate in the US. And she's popular now - out of the blue, after being appointed the nominee of the DEMOCRAT party - all b/c she's "not Trump."

And they claim that's the case despite Trump being one of the most popular political figures in the world, with a documented growing base of support among black men, Hispanics, and young people. And it's not like he's lost a lot of support among his existing base. Not to mention surviving an assassination attempt and receiving an endorsement from RFK Jr.

There are a whole lot of independent voters who cannot stand him.

There is also a significant segment of former Trump supporters - I'm one of them - who would never vote for him again, under any circumstances against any opponent.

My candidate, RFK Jr., has suspended his campaign. Fine and good, I applaud him for his selflessness.

But I'm still voting RFK.

Eh, Trump's without a doubt one of the most popular political figures in the world. I've showed you data in the past that independents actually break his way, not against him. And he's gotten more popular since he was forced out of office.

I'm just reading and analyzing the available data. I live and work in the anti-Trump world, so the "echo chamber" idea is way off base. If anything, I probably overestimate his negatives.

That said, I have no doubt they will do everything they can to steal another election. Like keeping RFK on the ballot where they can.

And we'll likely never know what the actual outcome of the election was, unless he wins by a large enough margin to counter any plausible/believable level of cheating. Is that possible? I don't know.

I think this is true of a lot of us.

I’ve been feeling this way the past week. I’ve experienced a full spectrum of emotion the past four months including educating myself, finding like peeps, feeling hopeful, feeling patriotic, wanting to encourage others, staying informed, wanting to help get our message out, (Republican Party still refuses to call me back after dozens of calls and emails expressing my desire to volunteer,) then slowly feeling discouraged and a bit scared because of the obvious corruption we are facing. I’m trying not to let the fear pull me down, but it’s hard. Even X has recently played a role in creating an emotional rollercoaster for me to extreme for me to sustain. While there is a lot of hope and support on there, there’s a lot of ignorance and evil too, along with consistent sabotage of the truth leading to people insulting each other rather than debating. So in spite of my loving all Elon is doing, I took a break, I just had to.

When I imagine what the day after the election would feel like if Trump wins is nothing short of a sunshine filled day with birds singing, real joy abounding, immense relief and happiness and hope, even willing to hug a democrat with full genuine warmth and love.

When I imagine the day if Kamala wins it is so dark and defeating - the only word to describe the feeling is pure, deep dread.

That may ā€œsoundā€ bi-polar, but I assure you it’s perfectly normal for any of us to have swings in emotions like this when we are plugged into the media for our feedback and assurances.

God plays a role in this. I have to get my mind focused solely on him again so that the sun will shine still in my heart should they succeed in cheating and Kamala wins. And I pray all of us will still come here and be here for each other in that outcome.

But pray we must that God has mercy on our nation and continues to thwart each effort of the other side and leads us to a Trump victory.

The same here, but I have had this roller coaster of emotions since the CoVid outbreak. I realize now, the Obama administration was fulfilling the Cabal of darkness plans going forward. Actually it had been going on for over half a century. If Hillary had won, we would have pursued managed decline. Trump winning put a monkey wrench in it all. Four years of impeachments and outrage. It’s a wonder DJT accomplished what he did.

BUT, and for me this is the big one, all of this forced me to examine my traditional Christian faith. It shoved me into reading my Bible, finding other sources for increasing my faith, and not just enduring but rising to this war of other principalities. It is why Jeff’s substack is the only one I read every day. I was never on Twitter or X, but I did start joining other social media that proclaimed to be censorship free. They turned out to be echo chambers, so I went off.

I now get fresh air everyday. I exercise. I watch no msm and have cut out virtually all social media. I have gone back to my first love of reading good books and Bible reading is now an everyday need.

It’s still a roller coaster of emotions, but DJT won against all odds, a bullet meant to kill him missed by a fraction of an inch. God is saving him for something. It’s what I cling to.

What you describe, the roller coaster of run emotion, it's entirely normal.

Juju's avatar

I’m not orthodox, I’m Protestant, but I love good prayers. This one I will look over each morning. I’ll just plop some of the highlights here for anyone wondering how beautiful it is:

ā€œWhy do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to me and everything will be peaceful. I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to me produces the effect that you desire and resolves all difficult situations.ā€

ā€œIt is like the confusion that children feel when they ask their mother to see to their needs, and then try to take care of those needs for themselves so that their childlike efforts get in their mother’s way. Surrender means to placidly close the eyes of the soul, to turn away from thoughts of tribulation and to put yourself in my care, so that only I act, saying, ā€œYou take care of it.ā€ā€

ā€œHow many things I do when the soul, in so much spiritual and material need, turns to me, looks at me and says to me, ā€œYou take care of it,ā€ then closes its eyes and rests. In pain you pray for me to act, but that I act in the way you want. You do not turn to me, instead, you want me to adapt to your ideas. You are not sick people who ask the doctor to cure you, but rather sick people who tell the doctor how to. So do not act this way, but pray as I taught you in the Our Father: ā€œHallowed be thy Name,ā€ that is, be glorified in my need. ā€œThy kingdom come,ā€ that is, let all that is in us and in the world be in accord with your kingdom. ā€œThy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven,ā€ that is, in our need, decide as you see fit for our temporal and eternal life. If you say to me truly: ā€œThy will be done,ā€ which is the same as saying: ā€œYou take care of it,ā€ I will intervene with all my omnipotence, and I will resolve the most difficult situations.ā€

ā€œYou see evil growing instead of weakening? Do not worry. Close your eyes and say to me with faith: ā€œThy will be done, You take care of it.ā€ I say to you that I will take care of it, and that I will intervene as does a doctor and I will accomplish miracles when they are needed. Do you see that the sick person is getting worse? Do not be upset, but close your eyes and say, ā€œYou take care of it.ā€ I say to you that I will take care of it, and that there is no medicine more powerful than my loving intervention. By my love, I promise this to you.ā€

ā€œYou are sleepless; you want to judge everything, direct everything and see to everything and you surrender to human strength, or worse—to men themselves, trusting in their intervention—this is what hinders my words and my views. Oh, how much I wish from you this surrender, to help you; and how I suffer when I see you so agitated! Satan tries to do exactly this: to agitate you and to remove you from my protection and to throw you into the jaws of human initiative. So, trust only in me, rest in me, surrender to me in everything.ā€

ā€œI will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. ā€œ

Yesterday's mention of Thiel Capital deserves a deeper dive.

Vance worked for 2+ years at Mythra Capital, co-founded by Thiel. Mythra and, the CIA's venture capital firm, InQTel, were the sole funding for Palentir, whose sole mission is very sophisticated surveillance.

Thiel and Eric Schmidt, former

Google CEO and devout liberal, are co-chairs of Bilderberg, and, agree

more than they disagree.

Thiel donated $35 million to Vance's senate campaign and at least that much to Trump.

The point here is, that all donations have a condition. I am not a Kommie-la supporter. Upon digging and connecting dots, im inclined to not support DJT either (even though i voted for him 2X)-- not the least of which is his being a pharma salesman for "the beautiful vaccine", which killed and maimed millions.

"I think it was Martin Luther who popularized the phrase, God uses crooked sticks to draw straight lines. It’s a cleaver phrase that communicates the notion that God works through imperfect people to accomplish His perfect will. Though I believe God calls us to be transformed in our thoughts, words, and actions (Rom 12:1-2), and to strive for spiritual and moral purity (1 Pet 1:15-16), the reality is that He does not wait for us to be perfect before He uses us. In fact, if God were to say to His children, ā€œLet those who are without sin serve meā€, there would be none. Though Christians are not perfect, we can be humble and obedient, and when willing to do God’s will, He can and will work through us as conduits of truth, grace, and love."

If a declining fertility rate was the issue (assuming it was not intentionally created) there would be other ways of addressing this, such as financial and lifestyle incentives to encourage procreation.

IMHO, this is a combination of all the worst elements. First, there is s deliberate effort to reduce the indigenous population (of which the Covid gene therapies were a part). Second, as part of the population replacement strategy, the mass immigration commences.

The real agenda is to accelerate the implementation of the NWO, the greatest resistance to which is the indigenous population's love of the national culture, language, history and sense of homeland. So it's a two-pronged strategy to replace the population to accelerate the NWO and simultaneously a "Divide and Rule" intent for the same purpose.

This is happening globally in slightly different ways, but when something suddenly appears from nowhere and is immediately everywhere, that isn't a coincidence, it's a strategy.

Everything they had planned to happen already, has not occurred. I am holding onto the thoughts that something greater is stopping it. I don’t just mean God wins in the end. I don’t think evil is as in control as it was.

I don't think the sun shines in Michigan during the winter months to justify solar farms.

...just like western PA...it's always seems so dark.

Michigan is the 2nd cloudiest state in the Nation. We are surrounded by water! Wind turbines were the big thing during the Obama administration, paying landowners and farmers good money to take up approximately 5 acres of land. The rural county that I live right next to is flush with them. Half the time they aren’t even running. When they break down, they just sit there. Since JRB was installed, solar companies, mostly out of Texas and Florida are flooding the Midwest. My county has 5 proposed solar farms going in, 5 different companies. These farms will take up thousands of acres. The companies LEASE the land, usually in 30 year increments. They lease retiring farmer’s lands, or land inherited by children who have no wish to farm. A decade ago farm prices were at record highs. Now, you’re not making any money. These solar companies are staffed by young college graduates. They are nice and earnest, and I believe they think this is great renewable energy. They come in as project managers, get the lease agreements done in secret, and pretty much have all the i’s and T’s dotted, before the neighbors to these farms know anything. Township boards can do little to stop them. They claim it does not lower land values, but we all know it is a bald faced lie. They even have remediation plans in place should they ever go bankrupt, to return the land back to it’s original shape. We know that is false as well. Once those 15 ft high panels and acres of grids are in place, they will never come out. We will have become a third world state.

Farm land disappearing, for nonsense reasons. Forcing starvation on the masses. America is a 3rd world nation, look at education, medical issues, and chronic illness. We are being poisoned every which way. Even organic food has been adulterated. Yes, I am feeling more anxious about our Nation.

They also destroy and sterilize the land when they build these solar farms. That land will not grow anything again for generations.

We were recently talking about what happens to the behemoth windmills and solar panels when the companies who operate them go defunct. Who's going to pay to remove them? Where does the waste go? Most likely the farmers who's land they're on will be stuck trying to deal with the huge hazardous eyesore, or the surrounding community at large. Yay!

Go to Iowa farmland. Wind turbines already decommissioned sit, the blades removed and probably in landfills, a red light left on so planes know the poles are there. Many of these leases were for 99 years so farmers can do nothing, the companies are long gone. It is a shell game.

The solar farms will be abandoned at some point. The outrageous sums they are paying landowners to lease their land will be gone within 20 years. The land will never be reverted back. These companies are being subsidized heavily to pay these unbelievable land leases, also subsidized is the power companies to buy the 18% power these grids will perhaps produce. Another shell game in the making.

It’s like the big Walmarts and other such buildings. When they moved to another location the buildings are abandoned. An eyesore.

They will tell you, it is so improved compared to 40 years ago, without telling you how and why. They don’t know.

Once again we are being forced into scenarios we know make no sense, but because greed is rampant now, landowners are being bought off with huge leasing sums.

The small print says the landowner is responsible for disposing of the panels when they no longer work. The materials used in making the panels is NOT easily gotten rid of!

This is a good example of 'the efficiency' of a Commie run command economy. And not too good ... and the reason why the United States will fail unless radical reverse surgery is performed.

It isn't an easy solution, nor a perfect absolute certain one, but the Community Environmental Legal Defense Fund helps communities write legally binding ordinances at the local level which assert a community's sovereignty (their right to self-govern and decide what happens in their own communities) and strips corporations of their legal rights. Corporations are after all, a legal fiction.
