Speaking of Elon helping to open up Internet speech, posts like this would be be censored on ((Facebook)): https://x.com/KristenMeghan/status/1811494567105134846

Kristen Meghan worked for the U.S. Air Force as an environmental specialist. She set out to debunk Chemtrails.

“In the process of trying to debunk it, I realized it was actually coming right out of my office I was one of the people approving the chemicals”

@BFM thanks for posting that. Does anyone else feel completely overwhelmed at the sheer number of awful things we’re dealing with today? I try to stay optimistic, and maybe I just need a news break, but sometimes it seems like we’re the underdogs and the bullies are winning everywhere. What do you guys do to rekindle hope in these dark times? I pray, a lot, but what else? Thanks for any advice from our great commenters!

I like to think of it this way...

My dad had some seeds, that my mother accepted.

Together they launched me onto this planet, to share a joy in a Devine creation.

At some moment in time....the rest of my life story became entirely up to "ME"!

I sing that old Gospel hymn to myself a LOT in the past 4 years, D.M.! "If heaven 'ain't' my home...then Lord what will I do? The angels beckon me from heaven's open door...and I can't feel at home in this world anymore."

AMEN!

After many of his followers left from following Him, Yeshua asked his disciples “Will you leave me too? They replied “Where would we go? YOU have the Words of Life.”

So, here we are. At the End of an Age……and again He is asking us “Will you also leave me?”

May it not be so. He is the Only Way, the Truth, the Light that shines on our pathway. He is Life.

YES!!! Why don't the churches go back to singing the "Gospel in a Song" hymns?? The anthems are "OK"--but they do not impart Biblical truths!

I know what you mean. New-fangled praise songs don’t work so well for me, but to each his own. A little CoC congregation in my area sings many of the old Scripture-based hymns I grew up hearing. They remind me who I am, who He is, and that every connection to Christ is deeply personal.

EXACTLY, R.H.! And the conjoined memories of standing between my maternal Granma and my sweet, loving Mom while singing these Gospel-based hymns is eternally comforting to my heart and mind. I'm betting you have precious memories of your own--and that's the title of yet another beloved old hymn, "Precious Memories"...do you remember that one, R.H.?

Alan Jackson does such a sweet cover of that one. Hymns validate “Bring up a child in the way he should go” for me. I grew up in a mega-church that boomed “Lift High the Cross” and “How Great Thou Art.” My CoC people—all 15 of them—sang “How Great” a few weeks ago. It reminds me of family members now home with Christ. I can’t sing the last two verses. They touch me that deeply.

When I see the hate of Hamas supporters, I often wonder if the day will come when I must openly stand in support of my Jewish brothers and sisters.

When do Jewish people stand for Christians?

Are there examples?

Jewish AG holding our Jan6 (Christian) men in jail.

Jewish Homeland Security Director allowing invasion of our country (while we protect Israel and Ukraine's border - both led by Jewish leaders!)

Jewish Sec of State leading war against Orthodox Christians in Russia/Ukraine.

We've been sending over $4 BILLION a year to Isreal, with this year an ADDITONIAL $25 BILLION.

All for the Oct 7 pysop!:

Jimmy Dore: "From all of the evidence, it would appear that the Israeli government WANTED the October 7th attack to occur. They had all the signs of an impending attack from their own military and civilian sources. The Egyptians warned of the attack. And yet, the military high command allowed a music festival to occur and reduced their own military on the border......"

First, turn off your television. Take a complete social media break. C&C gives me all the news I need. If you feel the anxiety rising-stop reading/listening.

Next, we are in a spiritual battle. Do not believe everything you see and hear! God is in control. He has pointed me towards His modern-day prophets for encouragement and guidance-esp on how to pray into this situation! Prayer is a powerful weapon against our enemy, and I find in very empowering personally. 🙏🏼🤍✝️

Well said, and I do the same. Each morning begins with THE WORD OF GOD, Badlands Media's newsbrief and C&C.

It is irritating when members of the uniparty say things like, "the future of our country" when at the same time they are doing their very best to RUIN IT, it the here and now.

Notice Elon did NOT give $ to the RNC, who, in my opinion, with all other establishment Republicans, is limping along, still alive, ONLY because DJT campaigns under the "R" banner. MAGA and R's, the RNC are not one and the same. I have lost ALL confidence in any s-elected official, with an R after his/her name. Local elections excepted, there may be some true patriots running there...let's hope.

From where I am sitting, the North Atlantic TREATY Organization poked the bear when it stomped on the Minsk Accords - taunting Russia with Ukraine's possible joining NATO -reminiscent of behavior of officials of questionable character from America's young history drawing up phony baloney treaties with Native American tribes. To be sure, the current administration is turning us into the baddies, I am afraid 😨, at least the shadow government in our intelligence agencies is making sure we are the baddies, while projecting all their evildoing on other countries, so we think they are our enemies. "Ohhhh, the times they are a-changin'. " And thank Heaven for Elon! When he says "message received" ...look out! Perfect response to mean, snarky, s-elected officials!

He states that the majority of prophecy will be fulfilled just before His return, rapidly accelerating and converging......the culmination of feeling "completely overwhelmed at the sheer number of awful things we’re dealing with today."

The Logistics: ~half the worlds population belongs to the opposition, while the US and Ukraine are seriously considering drafting women. The massive arsenal of the opposition compared to the aged and outdated US weapons stockpile, has been given to Ukraine which, admittedly, will require YEARS to replenish.

Remember that there have been much worse times in the past and remember all those who suffer overseas without any freedoms. Remember the martyrs who have suffered.

When I see the suffering that others have endured over the centuries, again, it gives me perspective.

THANK YOU for calling this to our attention, B.F.M. - there is cause for "hope" - but the chemtrails are EVERYWHERE in the Mid-Atlantic states (lots of military bases available to help 'spread the poison').

Clouds just don't look as they used to - even the 'cumulus clouds' that would cluster before a thunderstorm aren't as 'interesting' in their shapes...they're more "fluid looking" hard to describe--but I remember what thunderclouds USED to look like--and they "ain't' lookin' that way anymore!

May I respectfully suggest that the terms "geoengineering" and "chemtrails" are being mistakenly conflated?

Geoengineering is the attempt to affect and/or control climate and has been around for over half a century. Chemtrails is a theory that implies the nefarious and secret spread of chemical or biological agents intended to harm or control human populations.

The first is demonstrably true. The second, so far, is only a conspiracy theory. When someone says, "See, chemtrails are a real thing!" They're referring to the first, but implying the second.

Expand full comment

To say that chemtrails are "only a conspiracy theory" is blatant denial in the face of actual facts. But I gotta luv your final statement. Such contorted logic!

Chemtrail operations are a subset of "geo-engineering". Geo-engineering is the various methods by which our ruling sociopaths are manipulating the weather as a weapon to reduce humanity. It is excused and presented as an attempt to mitigate "global warming". This is how it is sold to naive souls like you.

I don't even have to argue for any of this. All the facts are out there right in the open for anyone to examine who actually has the ability to think for himself. Either you will look or you will simply deny - something we are all now very familiar with.

Also note the solar cycle graph in his post! Some historians have noted that there is a 500 year civilization cycle that can be traced back a few millennia. The current cycle began with the Renaissance and this cycle is currently drawing to a close with the collapse of the Soviet and USG empires which represented the culmination of the Right and Left wings of Renaissance philosophy. What I didn't know is that there is a 500 year solar cycle, trough to peak, that just coincidentally mirrors the civilization cycle. So you end up with one civilization cycle on the upside of the solar cycle and then one civilization cycle on the downside of the solar cycle. The point for us is that we are currently at the peak warming trend of the current solar cycle when volatile social/philosophical changes can be expected to initiate the new civilization cycle - whatever that may be. So... all I can say is that God is in control of all this.

Where are the trusted, even-handed experts regarding this phenomenon? - the Dr. Pierre Kory / Dr. Robert Malone / Dr. Peter McCullough equivalents? I just don't see it. Politico Phil belittling my intelligence isn't going to convince me.

Expand full comment

I hear ya...belittling is a common tactic in the absence of scientific proof. Once again, Geo-engineering exists. Spraying poisons over the enemy as a wartime tactic has happened. However, the organized, extensive spreading of chemicals across US airspace to control, infect or psychologically manipulate the population by nefarious governmental agencies is, to date, nonsense.

Thanks for the link. Amazingly & very welcome - I haven’t seen the aircraft spreading the trails in over a week in pacific NW region. Anyone else anywhere? Is it because of the summer heat? It’s wonderful & calming not to witness that activity.

Expand full comment

Here in NW FL, the chemtrails have been persistent. As to the "heat dome" (when did that become a thing?) over the western half of the country, that is also a product of geo-engineering. When have 115 degree heat been a thing in Oregon? You might recall last year when there was a persistent "heat dome" over CA most of the summer and then suddenly an "atmospheric river" was directed at southern CA that produced devastating floods.

For the latest example, there is Hurricane Beryl. Forecasted to come into northern Mexico or the tip of Texas, at the last minute it came right into the western edge of Houston perfectly timed to produce the biggest flooding impact and wind damage possible on the eastern side of the eyewall. Compare that to Hurricane Ian which was forecast to come into the sparsely populated region of Florida's big bend. I watched that in real time radar take repetitive 90 degree turns east then north and back again on a regular clock-like basis until it came into the most densely populated area south of Tampa. Such an action is NOT natural. With Beryl they did not broadcast real time radar. One could compare this to other perfectly timed hurricanes that experienced "rapid intensification" (also a new 'thing') just before landfall such as Michael, Maria, the CAT 5 Dorian that sat on the Bahamas for more than 24 hours, the one that came into the resort on the west coast of Mexico etc etc.

Am I saying they can influence the weather like that? Not only can they, they are. And they have readily admitted they have the capability. BUT it is too big to believe it is anything other than an "conspiracy theory". Yeah, well, so was the planned democide plandemic using a bio-weapon injection developed and deployed by the US military/CIA/industrial complex. And don't even get me started on stolen elections.

It should occur to everyone who takes a moment to think about it, that all of this is being done by the same people for the same purpose. All of this is part of the global effort to subjugate and reduce the world's population. But most especially they are focused on the US. They give us excuses for what is happening and we latch onto them to justify our denial because it is all TOO BIG to be true. Really? Remember that when the military aged men who were recruited by the USG across our southern border are organized as mercenary military units (UN of course) to "control" the American people. It was all just TOO big to believe.

However, Trump means economically (where is our middle class and our industry of the 50s) and ethically on the world front. His message is somewhat similar to RFKJR who laments what we grew up with and what we are today; albeit with different focus, but the sentiment is the same.

Expand full comment

Thank you!! This helped clarify things for me. I appreciate that link. I’ll paste this quote from it here for anyone else needed such a good clarification:

“The key difference between a democracy and a republic lies in the limits placed on government by the law, which has implications for minority rights. Both forms of government tend to use a representational system -- i.e., citizens vote to elect politicians to represent their interests and form the government. In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a "pure democracy," the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority.”

Sadly, no. Not to sound superficial, but once upon a time being a flight attendant/stewardess was meant to be a starter career. Never a lifelong career.

And when I said that I had in mind the chimp who 'plays' the piano and accidentally plays perfect Chopin once in every 100,000 years. Only I did not tell DeWife about the Chopin thing and that was probably a smart move on my part ... because one never wants to push one's luck too far and risk losing one's nuts.

With President Cabbage calling everyone him around Putin, I have to wonder if he might eventually get around to himself. Like ... President Cabbage Putin.

Also note the solar cycle graph in his post! Some historians have noted that there is a 500 year civilization cycle that can be traced back a few millennia. The current cycle began with the Renaissance and this cycle is currently drawing to a close with the collapse of the Soviet and USG empires which represented the culmination of the Right and Left wings of Renaissance philosophy. What I didn't know is that there is a 500 year solar cycle, trough to peak, that just coincidentally mirrors the civilization cycle. So you end up with one civilization cycle on the upside of the solar cycle and then one civilization cycle on the downside of the solar cycle. The point for us is that we are currently at the peak warming trend of the current solar cycle when volatile social/philosophical changes can be expected to initiate the new civilization cycle - whatever that may be. So... all I can say is that God is in control of all this.

Korean Air is, noticeably, still that way. The FAs are young, slender, fresh, energetic, and beautiful (even after a 14 hr ICN-IAD flight).

And we always do a little mental fist pump when we get Korean Air.

And it’s not just beautiful FAs, but even Korean passengers, in general, are so much more pleasant to fly with. Most only fill half their seat. By contrast, in America, they not only fill their seat but spill into the adjacent ones.

Back in the day. By the mid 80's American Airlines flight attendant union got the yearly weigh in requirement removed. That was also the time a lot of men [my IMO mostly gay] became FA's. Delta had a weight purportion to height bs in their requirements but in reality they inforced a certain weight requirement. I weighed in for an interview at 5'8 3/4" and 147lbs. They said I needed to weight 142. I said what about all the fat flight attendants working now. Gay interviewer dudette was probably not impressed. I wasn't impressed with him so I continued to work at the airport- ticket, baggage and gate agent. Half of 17 yrs as a supv. God knew I didn't need to be in that tin can 35k feet in the air! Took a severance package 2 years after 9/11 and haven't looked back.

There is a huge push to unionize Delta ground employees. Right now only the dispatchers and pilots are unionized. Of course the Dems are pushing it hard. I read this week Delta just gave a 5% pay increase and minimum $19 hourly wage.

Almost 5'9" and 147 lbs is pretty svelte... I don't know if there is a connection between the change in flight attendants and misbehavior on planes, but I will speculate that there is at least some impact.

I don't think there is- misbehavior probably more related to BLM, Tik Tok and everybody wanting to be social activists. Cheap airfare brings out cheap ignorant people too. I saw it when one of the low cost carriers came to my little airport. DL adjusted their fares to compete and ran them out. The alcohol is a big problem- pulled numerous drunks off flights after they boarded and drew the ire of the beautiful FA.

Good and upright is Yahweh;

Therefore He instructs sinners in the way.

May He lead the humble in justice,

And may He teach the humble His way.

All the paths of Yahweh are lovingkindness and truth

To those who guard His covenant and His testimonies.

Jeff, please help if you can to fundraise for our legal fight against the city of Seattle. 39 firefighters in a federal lawsuit against the City of Seattle for firing us over their tyrannical vaccine (gene therapy) failed mandate. We need some help as many of those included are still struggling financially and have endured great life changing harm by radical liberal ideology and indoctrination of the falsehoods from their illogical push to be rid of religious exempted individuals who knew all of this was false and harmful.

Jeffries: "Over the past several days, House Democrats have engaged in a thoughtful and extensive discussion about the future of our country, during a time when freedom, democracy and the economic well-being of everyday Americans are on the line." I hope this means they have all decided to resign.

IMO, if the sea and shoreline were appropriate for a pier, there would have had one there years ago. So much for our engineers and their education/knowledge of wave action etc.

Since they can't graduate black folks from school with full reading and writing ability (it's White Supremacy to have to read English), they have to drop competency testing down the line.

I had to stay in the nursing home my father was in for rehab after a stroke. Before I began to stay 20 hours a day, he was "given" a terrible black eye, scratches, bruises and became fearful... A very tall, black male orderly, who dressed as a female, was identified as the person who gave my dad the black eye and shoulder bruises. We had to force a meeting with the Nursing Administration to get that jerk fired... No one could tell us why he was in my father's room! He was "fired" but gained a new position weeks later, "Head of Transportation Services." It was a nightmare that didn't end until we took my father home. He never recovered. It was a 5 star "rehab center"...

My grandmother died in a rehabilitative nursing home for patient's with Alzheimer's. She was punched in the face and either dropped on the floor or rolled out of her bed to fall on the floor. They didn't call the ambulance until 5 hours later even though she lost consciousness....she died in the hospital, the doctor said it was a blow to the head that killed her, but when it came time to write it in the report, he refused because he said the medical profession has to protect their own -.-

I’m shaken by this. It made me cry. That poor man. I just wanted to reach into the video and wrap him tenderly and safely in my arms.

I don’t distrust someone’s care just because of the color of their skin. I’m sure there are just as many angry and abusive white men and women out there too!! Don’t forget that! I know of LGBTQxysnj!#*gfj people who are this hateful to others too. I’ve seen it first hand. They take their rage out on others who look similar to their oppressors, like those who happen to share the same religion or belief system as someone who was hateful to them. But don’t fool yourselves, these kinds of people can come from any race or background or lifestyle. And I’m certain they all have a special place in hell. People often scoff at not believing in a God who destroyed cities and killed his creations, but He only did it to these kinds of people. Don’t be evil to your fellow man and you have nothing to fear from God.

Sounds like the story of our son’s mother in law’s stay and then C19 hit and it took one of the daughter’s law suit to get her released! They brought her to our son and his wife’s home /being the only one with the extra bedroom downstairs/ and interviewed many in home care providers, ending up with “Home Instead” and the Mom calling her caretaker her friend. Never caretaker! Her Friend drove from Savannah to North Georgia for Nana’s Memorial service and Nana had made sure she was recognized as her friend. 💔

When in graduate school I worked in a nursing home one summer as an aide where I witnessed another aide slapping a man across the face because he couldn’t cooperate while she changed his diaper. I reported her to the charge nurse who did nothing about it. Sometimes I’ve wondered if working in care homes attracts abusers.

“Botch rate”. That’s a good one. Can’t imagine actually asking that of a doctor though. I’d worry about retribution. Surgeons are really touchy sometimes.

And he laughed and lied. 🤔 How dare you ask BEFORE surgery! We had a terrible year last year because of cancer and treatments and the patient can't question the Dr lest he be murdered and the spouse can question but the patient must show distance...lest he be murdered accidently. 😩 Happily Married 35+ years and NEVER FOUGHT so much and we have had so much stress in the way of medical and weather related and family issues throughout. It's a money making complex! Insurance is the matter that tosses out bones to all the dogs. Don't expect them to heal you with food or proven cheaper herbs or meds. They need money to keep the complex more complex.

I have figured that medical people, robbed of their permit-to-practice by state licensing boards, would find some work-around. Maybe attorneys, too. It sounds bad, but may be the opening-by-a-crack of the door to professional freedom.

I recall listening to Attorney Robert Barnes talk about how once upon a time lawyers didn’t have to get licensed to practice law. Given that these credentialing organizations (ABA, AMA, etc al) have been captured by communist groupthink*, perhaps this isn’t such a bad thing? Just asking…

*ABA significantly enabling push for disbarment of John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark among many other attorneys; AMA significantly enabling push for revocation of license to practice medicine, too many physicians to count…

Would not ever have read yours, had you not commented upon mine! Encountered Barnes Esq via Viva, during Truckers' , when glued to computer for a week. Yes--the whole credential thing. So many jobs require apprenticeship (teaching, for sure), not "courses".

It’s so funny how that Mitchell & Webb skit about the baddies has become part of the cultural fabric as a way of instantly conveying the realization that “we” (i.e., our country, our tribe, or whatever group we are identifying with) are actually the guilty ones and it is only because of our immersion in propaganda and social engineering that we had previously thought we were the “good” ones.

I have used it myself (https://margaretannaalice.substack.com/p/on-fearing-freedomplus-thanking-substack) and only wish more people would practice this kind of honest self-reflection and assessment in “real” life. Heaven knows how many Democrats would come to this realization if they did so!

Meanwhile, in Canada. https://youtu.be/BQHJ5pAkyyg?si=pWaiJDzIClPYsPUX

Conservative Party Leader Pierre Poilievre has refrained from backing Canada’s new commitment to meet NATO’s defence spending guideline, blaming the state of the country’s finances for his reluctance.

“I always say what I mean and mean what I say. I make promises that I can keep,” Mr. Poilievre said at a July 12 press conference in Montreal. “Our country is broke after nine years of Trudeau.” https://www.theepochtimes.com/world/poilievre-not-committed-to-nato-2-guideline-our-country-is-broke-5685317?utm_source=left-sharing-widget-v2&utm_medium=copyLink
