Trump signing the order to end the Dept of Education, surrounding himself with kids signing their own orders... that was brilliant staging.

Could he do the same with dismantling the Dept of Big Pharma? "Empowering our young people to be smart about their health"

Trump was very close to JFK, Jr. and I would imagine the two of them had very long conversations about what Jr.'s Dad was attempting to accomplish right before he was 'rubbed out' by the mob/CIA cartel! Some people believe that JFK, Jr. faked his death and is still living - that was all part of and parcel of the Q Anon 'cult' that preceded the 2020 elections. I am not one of "those people" though.

Now that some of the "rotten to the core snoops agencies" are being exposed--perhaps JFK< Jr. DID fake his death. He had wanted to run for the U. S. Senate in the NYC district (but he then found out Killary had her hat set on that plum position--so he nixed that idea). Then...he learned how to fly private planes...and "the rest is history" as the saying goes.

I don’t know. I would sure like a list of those agencies. I remember a female, name not coming to me at the moment, stating they spread the information (I think it was the Russiagate fallacy) among all 17 intelligence agencies before the administration left office. It was a shocking number to me at the time. It could also have been information contained in “the binder” that the FBI wanted so badly to retrieve at Mar-a-Lago containing the corrupt Crossfire Hurricane info.

Debra Jackson's avatar

Well, I found the 17 agencies through Grok. I would have liked to cut/paste them but my phone doesn't give me that option. Here goes:

1) Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI), Oversees and coordinates the intelligence community; 2) Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), Focuses on foreign intelligence and covert operations (ha, also domestic operations but Grok didn't post that); 3) National Security Agency (NSA), Specializes in signals intelligence and cybersecurity; 4) Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), Provides military intelligence to policymakers; 5) National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA), Analyzes geospatial data for national security; 6) National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), Manages satellite intelligence and reconnaissance; 7) Department of State's Bureau of Intelligence and Research (INR), Provides intelligence analysis for diplomacy; 8) Department of the Treasury's Office of Intelligence and Analysis (OIA), Focuses on financial Intelligence; 9) Department of Homeland Security's Office of Intelligence and Analysis (I & A), Supports homeland security with intelligence; 10) Department of Energy's Office of Intelligence and Counterintelligence (OICI), Handles energy-related intelligence; 11) Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), conducts domestic intelligence and counterintelligence; 12) Drug Enforcement Administration's Office of National Security Intelligence (ONSI), Focuses on drug-related intelligence; 13) U.S. Coast Guard Intelligence, Provides maritime intelligence and security; 14) U.S. Air Force Intelligence, Supports air force operations with intelligence; 15) U.S. Army Intelligence and Security Command (INSCOM), Provides army-specific intelligence; 16) Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI), Focuses on naval and maritime intelligence; and lastly, 17) Marine Corps Intelligence Activity (MCIA), Supports Marine Corps with intelligence analysis.

Obama's White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest was identified by Grok as the key source of stating the "Russian election interference" information (think Russia, Russia, Russia! Hillary Clinton's Russiagate hoax) was disseminated to 17 intelligence agencies during a press briefing on January 5, 2017. I don't remember so much that he said it but a woman connected to the Obama Administration also made that claim when talking to a MSM host. At the time when I heard that statement, I was surprised we had so many "intelligence agencies."

We are entering new territory here. All this revelation about the CIA, which just confirms what we have already suspected, seems good. I do wonder though, what this means in terms of us knowing what all is going on in the subterranean depths of the rest of the world. It has been going on for so long that we are basically tearing down the structure that has created the world as we know it. There are always unintended consequences and when you start undermining to this degree, the consequences, for good and ill, have bigger ramifications. We shall see, it is a fascinating time for those of us interested in the life cycles of things and how new systems emerge out of breakdown.

Yes, this is the world we are in. However, it is fundamentally an evil world at least from how it is governed. Such corruption everywhere, even at the smallest level as in city, county etc. Wrecking it will be cataclysmic to a degree because that is how it runs. So do we go ahead and destroy the evil and corruption or take our chances on the world getting better afterwards? We do know what happens if we don't stop it. As for me, I'm old enough to ride this out, but I really do care about grand children and even further. They more than anyone deserve the same chance I and millions of others had. Many of our Founding Fathers were well off and not young in their day. Many also ended up broke, but they did not hesitate to act and look at what greatness they gave to humanity for doing so. I can do no less.

I just saw on X that J&J is committing to invest 55 billion into USA over the next four years. Commenters seem ok with it 🤨 It’s going to create tons of jobs in manufacturing etc etc.

Am I the only one who isn’t thrilled about this idea? Trump introduced the CEO at one of his rallies a few years ago as his very good friend. Ummm….it doesn’t smell good. Especially when we want big pHarma squashed. The commenters on X seem ok with this stating J&J was the only shot without MRNA in it. However I know first hand that a lot of the Detroit Tiger minor league team in Lakeland got sick, very sick after that shot of choice by the Tigers. It was awful. Did they die? I don’t have that answer as the young man on the team got let go for NOT taking it. He gave up his dream of playing MLB because he stood up for himself. We’re still in contact with him 4 years later.

So am I excited about J&J expansion? Not anymore than ffffizer building a whole new state of the art facility in Kalamazoo Michigan off the backs of our dead citizens. 😡

Nina, I am heartbroken for you. My next door neighbors chose to get the J&J because it was only one jab and they couldn't go on any cruises without it - they had recently retired and had set up a cruise schedule 6 times per year, so this was going to be their life. They are *both* now seriously injured - heart, blood pressure, neurological issues and diabetes for him, all kinds of spine, dental and joint issues and a reactivation of MS for her - She had the markers for MS but never had any full blown symptoms until the jab. They both told me they know it caused this. Now they spend most of their time going to the doctor, and last week he passed out on the golf course.

You and your dear mom will be in my prayers.

mrna jabs delivered the spike synthetically in a big batch all at once. j and j "old school" delivered the on off switch to be assimilated into your DNA, making them do the work of creating the new spike. was almost more deadly imho, because you can't turn it off once it is assimilated. your own body creates the spike protein forever. at least that was the statement at the time. of course no one is researching this to see if it is actually stopping or can be reversed.

Sharon Beautiful Evening's avatar

I have a dear friend (in her 60's) who was basically healthy until she had TWO of the J & J shot (her teacher husband coerced her into getting it because he was "mandated" to take it in order to teach). About 18 months ago--this fairly healthy woman had a sudden CORONARY INFARCTION and almost died. Now....her life consists of running back and forth to doctors and test facilities and her "quality of life" is greatly depleted. She had NO NEED to get the "vaccine" as she worked from home for most of her adult life (self-employed).

I didn't get into sharing with my friend the mRNA information I have compiled because the J & J uses a different chemical composition (but still has the clotting issues for some people). ALL of my loved ones, except for my siblings have taken the mRNA jab - and I pray for them ALL THE TIME. It's the 'waiting for the other shoe to drop' issue in my heart and mind.

And return to normalcy. “A self-sufficient America is a less desperate America.” True on the global level, and true on the personal level. Self-reliant Americans and independent family farms worked rather well pre-WWII. Individually, we were stronger, more durable, and Godlier connected to the land and nature instead of Congress, Costco, shopping malls, Broadway, Hollywood, and Madison Avenue coercion, propaganda, and social engineering.

Of course, many will say, “But homesteading is not sexy!” How is “sexy” working out for us? That pre-occupation led us into killing babies in the womb and teaching our sons that they might be women and our daughters that they don’t need men. And yes, self-reliance is hard work, but it means a far greater degree of personal autonomy and freedom from today’s politicized, monopolized, greedy, and vulnerable grid of opportunists and predators.

Many of the autoimmune problems are caused by toxicity, like heavy metals, chemicals, etc. This is liver time of the year & a good time to do a liver detox & also a heavy metal detox. Eliminate all seed oils (use butter, ghee, lard from unvaccinated & grass fed animals), pure olive oil). Be careful of fried foods as they are mostly cooked in seed oils. Avoid refined sugar & especially corn syrup. Drink plenty of clean water to flush out the toxins. Eat organic foods, at least nonGMO. Avoid processed & fast foods. I recommend seeing a chiropractor or naturopath. Good luck!!

I would like to say that not all chiropractors (or naturopaths!) are created equal.

Up your game: look for a functional medicine doctor (if all you have in your area is chiropractors). When seeking a naturopath or a functional medicine doctor, look for one that does the blood tests for food allergies as well as other types of testing, and can knowledgeably discuss and recommend treatments related to what that testing reveals.

While the testing can get a little expensive, it is well worth finding the money to do. (don't try to do all that testing at one time, though)

I say this as someone who tries to live what I preach:

I have been fighting serious-to-severe secondary reactions from being exposed to the vax shedding from other people who took the mRNA vaccines. My functional medicine doctor has been invaluable to getting what I can of my life back from that, and keeping me functioning.

I also consult as needed with two herbalists, one in Canada and one in Missouri, both certified. If you can find a good herbalist, make them your very good friends. They have plant knowledge that can change your life.

I am happy to recommend people to (and connect you with) them if asked, but I don't feel comfortable giving their info out here. Please contact me privately with your information and I will connect you.

For all the women who began hemorrhaging after exposure to the spike proteins, progesterone levels appear to contribute significantly to the problem. My Canadian herbalist has made up a list of plants that support or increase progesterone, and is happy to sell a copy to anyone who wants it. I've personally found that list to be very helpful and enlightening. If you would like a copy (expect her to charge you for it), let me know and I'll put you in touch with her.

If you have another health issue that you'd like her to make a list for, she's happy to make as many lists as needed, and has already made quite a few for other reasons.

As someone who's tried it and had, um, interesting results, please be ***VERY*** careful with DMSO. Follow the instructions, only put it on clean skin, and test it somewhere on your body that doesn't have a lot of nerve endings. It could work out well for you--or--it could be a bit painful, especially at first, as your body encounters it for the first time and tries to figure out what to do with it.

I also recommend the "less is more" approach at first (tiny infrequent dabs, get your body used to it).

my father had psoriasis and all his life used UV light lamp for therapy. Had it during WWII. Had five children, none of us got psoriasis. I believe the best thing to do is get lots of sun and your own sun lamp. Next, see a functional medicine doctor ASAP. Do not rely on allopathic medicine doctors. In the meantime read the Midwestern Doctor's substack and look up in his archives(JOIN, it's worth it!) his recommendations on this subject.

I would also personally start applying nicotine patches 2mg/day concentration. WHY? read Dr Ardis's book.

Victoria's avatar

My thought on this is that psoriasis is the body's way of eliminating through the skin an overload that it can not process in another way. So, to address the skin problem is to address the symptom. There are multiple ways the body can cleanse, and I think we have individual ways to do this. The usuals are diet, movement, sunlight. I particularly like herbs and herbal teas, but someone else may do better with other things. The main idea is to work on having a healthy liver and kidneys since they do big cleansing work. Keeping the bowels moving is important for that to happen too.

Jeff did the biologic infusions (IV drip) for 18 months and it was TOTALLY CLEARED UP - and then it SLOWLY RETURNED and after 24 months, he ceased the biologics because they no longer helped (hardly at all).

My favorite type of theist: the kind that gets angry when you poke holes in their bullshit and fallacies ~ and it’s YOUR fault for not being gullible.

My feelings are not hurt one iota.

If religion was kept in their churches and their heads, and that they didn't think they are superior to others, I'd be generally OK with that.

If God exist, I want him to tell me himself.

I don't want to hear it from anybody else.

And in case you're wondering, that includes you.

For me, the bottom line is always Truth. The question must always be, Is it True? That is the only way to make the best choices for ourselves, as well as our society. Even the most inoffensive religious belief systems introduce unsupported claims and take us away from the path of Truth, robbing us of the ability to make the best decisions in our lives.

Ultimately, as with so many expressions it all comes down to intent. But the next time a Christian says, “we will be putting you in a prayer list,” notice how the sentence is used.

Is it a kind expression of love and concern, or is it what it is meant to be ~ a slap in your face? "I am superior to you. I have access to truths you don't have. I am chosen. You are ignorant."

There's no hate like Christian love, no arrogance like Christian humility and no ignorance like Christian knowledge.

Oh, no! Please! No! Not Hell! Not the Lake of Eternal Fire!

daverkb's avatar

I've thought on this much. And I would add to 'destroyed and salted' this ... displaced by good. Destruction without construction is nearly akin to idleness the devil's handmaiden, at least by results. I look at the carpenters of death, the senseless wooden men and women hell bent of destroying everything in their path, including our country and our homes, and I know that they do not build anything. That to me is what sticks out in the most glaring of ways, that they construct nothing. Maybe 'they' pretend to, but by their fruit they have left the Western World and much of the rest of the world a place of devastation, barren and leveled. And now 'they' and 'our best ally' are up to their old tricks again in the Middle East ... and this is really distraction from eyes being focused on the invasions, the trampling upon our country, and the cartels' attempted take over of the North American continent ... which would be the final nail in the coffin.

The one 'good' I am proud of is that a lot of people never threw in the towel, never gave up and resisted the Dark Evil with all there might no matter the cost to themselves ... and for the sake of goodness, of truth ... and for the hope of having something decent to look towards in time yet to come. Sometimes things looked real dicey and the spirit perhaps wavered within ... and yet daily there are now shower of sunlight streaming down. It's springtime now, and hope springs eternal for those who abide with the Lord.

Never give up. Always fight for the Truth and the Good.

Thank you!!!! This should be shouted from the roof tops. This has been the common ethos of the true American spirit of our forefathers. This is our calling in the Lord, to go forth and disciple the nations in the righteousness of Christ's law-word, to proclaim the Gospel and the progressive coming of His Kingdom on earth. The enemy has done much to bury this spirit of the Lord in our nation but they fight against the Holy Spirit against which no evil spirit can prevail. Christ has already won the victory and our duty is to carry His Spirit and Word into all of life and culture replacing evil with good as empowered by the Holy Spirit. We are the victors in Christ and they will never overcome His kingdom whose rule will be without end.

Your comment is perhaps the best description I have read of the war we are in. As His disciples, we can walk in peace and faith knowing that His kingdom will never be defeated. The price He paid on the cross has bought their defeat. Ours will always be the victory.

Likewise, I am always amazed at the "logic" of their minds and the desperation of their spirits. And I think it is desperation for they know in the back of their minds that they are doomed. And because they know they are doomed, they seek to bring the entire world unto destruction before they die, like bitter old men who want to kill as many as they can before they have to face their death. I think this is truly the mindset as exemplified by a bitter old man who tried to destroy this nation before he was ejected from office.

That statement does not imply that we are all called to suffering in extremis. In my own life, for example, I have not had to suffer much at all. That this is so only increases the magnitude in my eyes of my many blessings showered upon me by a Sovereign God.

During Covid, I did not comply. In not complying, I did so knowing that there was a potential for very bad things to happen to people who refused to bow down to the god state. That is, in my decision to not comply I knew very bad things could happen to me. Fortunately, 'they' the Evil doers were more threat, intimidation and fear monger manipulators than anything else. And speaking of this, I do remember that the Commonwealth Attorney for my area stated that he thought the Commonwealth would be loath to prosecute people because they knew what they were doing would not stand any constitution test. But we did not know in the early stages of Covid Terrorism how far 'they' would go.

Foxes' Book of Martyrs is also sobering. It is full of the kind of examples most of us don't want to look at in the era of a false Feel Good promotion of 'prosperity theology'.

So, I don't look for trouble. But if trouble comes my way, I will not cave on Christian belief nor will I deny Christ (although Peter and crowing cocks are also a caution! And a cause for humility.).

The bottom line is that none are greater than God. That is the import of the thought, and not so much the possible details in any hypothetical setting. And certainly not any requirement not warranted by applications of traditional Christian orthodoxy.

Watching Warroom with Steve Bannon was very enlightening. The full force ofcollective knowledge was brought together with conservative think tanks, those who knew how the system was being run and how "the machine" controlled the power.

They brought in an army of people, taught them how to do the real job, how to fend off the in-beds - not letting themselves be rolled by bureaucrats. They knew the job/position, their duty. They know how it connects to others. I have to believe they went in, knowing constutionally, what was their mission.

Every single EO was researched, written up, and ready to go before Day One.

It's a beautiful thing to watch unfold. It's exciting to get up every morning anticipating President Trump’s next move!

Jeff C's avatar

Nonsense. The closest genetic relatives to Biblical Jews are actually Palestinian Christians who have been in the region for two millennia. There are numerous exhaustive DNA studies that show this. Maybe search the evidence rather than repeating what a megachurch pastor told you.

Yes, today's Jews of Israel do have a genetic proximity to Biblical Jews. But they are hardly the closest match, virtual every ethnic group with a prolonged presence in the region is a closer match than the Jews that largely immigrated in recent times from Eastern Europe. Please stop repeating propaganda that you haven't researched.

As to whether the Bible prophesy referred to AD 70, perhaps it is true, perhaps it isn't. Much evidence suggests it is true. However, there is far more ambiguity regarding the Dispensational view which wasn't invented until the early 1800's by John Nelson Darby. It strings together a bunch of disparate Bible passages and invented a brand new theology regarding a separate plan and salvation for the Jews. None of the historic branches of Christianity (Catholic, Orthodox, or Protestant) taught this and the great Fathers of the church would have considered it heresy.

Please read the Book of Hebrews prayerfully as it clearly explains how the Jews were chosen for a purpose, i.e. to bring Christ to the world, not because they have some special DNA. Christ's death and resurrection ended the Old Covenant once an for all. In Christ alone we are redeemed, without him we are nothing. He said so Himself, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life, no man shall come to the Father except through Me." It could not be clearer, (there is no asterisk that says except Jews who get an alternate plan B salvation).

Dispensationalism results in idolatry as it results in an ethic group and a modern nation state displacing the sufficiency of the Cross.

daverkb's avatar

Who knows. And it's all such a ball of wax. And such as I go over it all again and again, who is it we need saving from? It is ourselves. And from our darkness. And the darkness which invades all understanding.

I notice how Trump time and time again speaks to the people, to the reporters ... as though they were five year olds with five year old level of vocabulary. With five year olds you have to say, "You are bad. you are wicked. Go to your room until you can act right." And this is the only thing you can do with people like Pelosi, Schumer, and so on. Call them out like five year olds. And this Trump does.

The 17th and 18th century America of the Eastern coastal colonies was largely a Reformation informed world, Calvinist in custom, habit and mentality. In planting a colony, first people built homes and planted. Then a meeting house. And after that a school. And the character of the school chief was to inculcate moral attitude. And this is important because there is no maturity, no true adulthood without moral adherence. That is, adulthood requires steerage. And where there is no steerage, there is only indulgence, whim and childish emotional attitude swaying the ruins of reason. And so, in the present clime, we in the West get a Trump speaking to We the American People as an adult speaks to a five year old. And that is why we can hope for no better than Trump and a mixed bag of results.

If we want better, we would have to more emulate the wisdom of the first generations of American who tended to be Calvinists by educational habit. Even then, the world of Man is always a thing of corruption.

As a Catholic, it does not surprise me one bit that the John XXIII and Paul VI might be implicated of secret dealings with the 3 letter agencies. These agencies operate in darkness as does masonry and it it widely known, (I should say, greatly suspected with some substantiation) to traditionally minded Catholics that both of these men were members of the lodge. The Church was infiltrated and after the Second Vatican council the Church gave into the "world". This would explain to the uninformed why the Church has behaved the way it has for the past 60 years.

Seeing my great aunt pray the rosary gave me the heebie jeebies. I returned to the Church after stumbling upon the work of Rene Girard and David Berlinski. I now pray the rosary every day. I now grasp why women, compared to other parts of the world, achieved so much in the West. 'Mary mother of God' is a pretty dignified position. At a Greek Orthodox Church there was a massive mural of Mary on the ceiling.

So, I agree, “prayers for Trump” and his team. I read a big article in the Epoch Times yesterday on the failures of education. It’s baffling how we fell so low. I went to school at a time when we were in the top of our education game. A dedicated group of spinsters led us through an orderly progression of grades and no one, not even our parents, paid any attention at all. Of course, we weren’t over vaccinated, did not have chronic illness, and our mothers cooked us dinner every night. But the curriculum was rote. Anyway, they blame our modern education failures on screen time and the fact that kids don’t read outside of school. I know that these parents throw tons of money into tutoring and spend hours making sure homework gets done. It’s hard to imagine it wouldn’t pay off, but it doesn’t. Also, we walked to school and no one played sports…unless it was a two car family, which was rare. I remember my mother marveling with another mother—Oh, she drives them to diving every day, can you imagine. Every day they dive…Now sports are center stage??? Every mother drives the kids somewhere to do something.

Something I noticed decades ago about the decline of education in the USA is never mentioned, anywhere. When I was a kid in the 50s and 60s, all my male teachers were dumb, and did a poor job. I had many very good teachers, all female. That was when job opportunities were more limited for females. Competent men did not become teachers. Many highly competent females did, since other options were scarce. As more jobs opened up for females, female high achievers no longer went into teaching, and female teachers sunk to the same level as the males. I'm NOT saying females should be discriminated against. But, you can't fix a problem without clearly identifying its causes. The answer is getting good people back into teaching. Not easy, since there is truth to the saying "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach."
