The Rest Of The Fourteenth

Lately we've heard a lot about the 14th Amendment to the US Constitution, but most of it has dealt only with one of its clauses (14.3). I think it's time to look at the other four clauses (14.1, 14.2, 14.4, and 14.5) to see how they may apply to the issue of Donald Trump's candidacy for a second term as US President.

[You can find the full text of the amendment here, along with some pertinent references - https://constitution.congress.gov/browse/amendment-14/]

Section 1 Rights

All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

As a natural born US citizen, Mr. Trump is eligible to be US President. At issue is whether he is disqualified to hold that office under clause 14.3 of the subject amendment. I believe the failure to establish such disqualification via due process of law violates both clause 14.3 itself and clause 14.1, making such putative disqualification invalid.

Section 2 Apportionment of Representation

Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice-President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.

I believe that States which deny their residents the right to vote for Mr. Trump are in violation of this clause, and their representation in Congress should be appropriately reduced. Take note the right to vote referenced in this clause is not affected by the events of January 6, 2021, since the vast majority of voters had nothing to do with that alleged rebellion or any other crime.

Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Note this clause refers only to disqualification to HOLD office, not to RUN for office. And since clause 14.1 does not allow States to abridge privileges (such as running for or holding office), I believe only Congress has the ability to disqualify a candidate via this clause or to certify their electors and their subsequent election.

Section 4 Public Debt

The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any State shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

I do not believe this clause applies to the current discussion.

Section 5 Enforcement

The Congress shall have the power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

I believe this clause gives the US Congress and ONLY Congress the power to enforce this article, making the recent (and possible future) actions of State Attorneys General and other actors invalid.

At this point, it's worthwhile to mention several other States may be contemplating similar denial and abridgement of the rights and privileges of Mr. Trump and millions of other US citizens. You can find such a claim here:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/co-me-just-start-trump-ballot-blocking-these-20-states-have-suits-progress

I believe we the electorate should demand an investigation whether or not such lawsuits are the result of collusion among several parties to illegally deny or abridge our electoral rights and privileges, who such parties might be, and whether or not prosecuting them under the RICO Statues (18 U.S.C. §§ 1961-68) is warranted.

Or are such prosecutions now confined to abortion protesters and their organizations?

Update - 1/4/2024

I believe the above interpretation validates the allegedly "debunked" theory that legislatures (and ONLY the legislatures) of the States are constitutionally empowered to prescribe The Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections and of appointing a Number of Electors (as specified in Article 1, Section 4, para. 1 and Article 2, Section 1, para. 2 of our Constitution). There is a compelling logic for assigning such authority TO THE PEOPLE and their elected legislatures and NOT allowing other parties to meddle in such matters.

Update - 2/9/2024

Note well that Representative Gaetz made most of the same arguments I did in my original 12/31/2023 blog post:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/rep-matt-gaetz-introduces-resolution-saying-trump-didnt-engage-insurrection

Nice to know that at least one person in Congress has actually READ the US Constitution. It would be even nicer if the rest of them and the so-called legal experts would do the same.

By the way, Gaetz's bill either will result in a signed resolution or it won't. Time to start debating the ultimate impact of both outcomes. I doubt it could get through the Senate.

Is Ohio Really A State ???

I am an Ohio native, born and raised here, and I currently reside in Ohio. Like almost all of my neighbors, I believed that Ohio was admitted to the United States as the 17th State in 1803.

But I was wrong.

As this essay reveals, due to a Congressional screw up Ohio wasn't actually admitted (retroactively) to the Union until 1953:

https://www.athensnews.com/opinion/columns/the_view_from_mudsock_heights/the-improbable-story-of-how-in-living-memory-ohio-became-a-state/article_a87a3a7c-9ebd-11e6-bf18-076977e14ba3.html

But is that actually the case?

The US Constitution gives Congress the authority to admit new states to the Union:

Article 4, Section 3

1. New States may be admitted by the Congress into this Union; ...

But it does NOT give Congress the authority to pass RETROACTIVE legislation:

Article 1, Section 9

3. No Bill of Attainder or ex post facto Law shall be passed.

Here we have the makings of a REAL constitutional crisis. Consider the following questions (and there may be more):

• Does the "retroactive" aspect of the 1953 legislation negate the entire act? If it does, Ohio is not a US State.
• If any of those eight Presidents were not truly eligible to hold the office, what is the status of laws and executive actions they authorized? (Same applies to votes of the possibly ineligible Representatives and Senators and rulings of Justices.)
• Were any OTHER "States" also improperly "admitted" to the Union?
• What if Ohio and any other applicable "State" now decides it does not WANT to join the Union? Can they be compelled to do so?
• Considering the current mess our three branches of government have put us in lately and (I hate to say it) the quality of the people now running them, how do you think they would deal with such a mess?

And should you think all this is no big deal, please ask yourself why so many people want to use a provision of our Constitution to disqualify President Trump from running again but choose to ignore other provisions they consider to be invalid, inconsequential, or inconvenient.

Smoke On The Water

In a former life, I used to travel up and down the highway which runs along the north shore of Lac Leman in Switzerland, from Lausanne to Montreux and beyond. Along the way I'd pass the site where the fire occurred which is immortalized in the rock song "Smoke on the Water" by Deep Purple:

https://youtu.be/zUwEIt9ez7M

For some reason, the US now plans to send a naval "coalition of the willing" to protect the Red Sea from what we consider to be pirates, mainly from Yemen. This mission also will involve smoke on the water, this time in the Middle East.

There are several reasons why this may be no easy task, and you can read about them here:

https://www.unz.com/article/the-u-s-navy-is-unprepared-for-a-prolonged-war-with-yemen/

You might want to ask WHY we would undertake such a thing WITHOUT a declaration of war or even a clear understanding of why this mission is necessary. I suspect it has a lot to do with the possibility of another "Gulf of Tonkin" resolution, this time in support of the pending war with Iran.

For many of us, this is mainly academic now, but wait until the Houthis sink one or more of our large ships (e.g., an aircraft carrier). Then the shit really will hit the fan, and the ol' national debt will zoom upward into the stratosphere.

Can we afford more wars? According to those who never went to war themselves, the answer is yes. But those of us who HAVE been deployed will tell you the answer is NO ... especially when the whole thing is avoidable and could be stopped in a New York minute if our "leaders" had enough backbone and intelligence.

MiniNukes For Ukraine ???

Here is an interesting, lucrative proposal:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/rolls-royce-may-build-mini-nuke-plants-ukraine

And here is a cartoon which may help to sell it:

I like Mr. Fish, but he's way off base here. We're not going to turn into Venus any time soon.

As long as there is an independent nation-state known as Russia, Ukraine won't be entering NATO (and probably not the EU). So giving them nuke plants, which possess and/or produce things you need to make nuclear bombs (e.g., plutonium) may not happen either.

But the Rolls-Royce idea is certainly a good way to stick the EU with the development costs for a technology which no doubt eventually will be used somewhere else.

Just remember, every nuke plant is a source of forever mixed waste and a disaster waiting to happen. There are only two possible solutions to the problem(s) this project allegedly will solve:

1. use less energy, and
2. cull the human population ... A LOT.

Since both already are being rapidly implemented, the REAL reason behind the SMR concept probably is to provide power for the huge plantations and mega-factories the ultra-rich (e.g., Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg) are building for themselves.

Cartoons For Today - 12/18/2023

 From the net:

This particular stink will be hard to wash off.

The Obama Movie

I accidentally started to watch the Obama movie the other day ... you know, this one:

https://joehoft.com/breaking-obama-come-out-with-first-movie-about-end-of-times-director-says-obama-scared-the-f-out-of-me/

As soon as I saw his name I turned it off. Eight plus years of his crap has been more than enough for me; I don't need any more.

I have long compared him to the ad-Dajjal, and others also have related him to the Antichrist:

https://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2012/11/is-obama-antichrist-pastor-in-texas.html

Whatever the case, I do not believe he has my best interests in mind ... but you can decide for yourself.

And if you happen to watch his movie, tell me what you think. I'd like to know. It always a good idea to keep an eye on your enemy.

Debt Trapping

Here is an interesting anti-China screed:

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/debt-trap-diplomacy-which-developed-countries-are-most-indebted-china

If you've read John Perkins' book Confessions of an Economic Hit Man, you know the West has been doing this for decades. The biggest difference is that the Chinese don't bomb your country and kill your leaders if they refuse to take the bait.

The Death Of Medicine

Medical schools are shifting from "medical expertise" to woke BS:

https://jonathanturley.org/2023/12/12/canadian-medical-schools-encouraged-to-shift-from-medical-expertise-to-anti-racism-and-social-justice-training/

Considering their pitiful performance during the plandemic, they might as well. It doesn't take much expertise to follow a cookbook written by someone like Fauci, especially if you're shielded from liability.

And thanks to that moron Obama ad-Dajjal, no one's going to the doctor anyway:

https://x.com/zerohedge/status/1734716040863473779?s=20

Sheesh !!!

The Dictator Strikes Again

"Joe Biden" and his minions continue to circumvent our Constitution, our Congress, and the will of the People:

https://www.azerbaycan24.com/en/us-skips-congressional-review-to-approve-emergency-sale-of-tank-shells-to-israel/

The only emergency here is the urgent need to stop Israel's genocidal massacre of Palestinians. The rest of the world can see that, why can't OUR "leaders"?

MSM Interference

Please watch this video "interview":

https://x.com/VivekGRamaswamy/status/1732771663329079393?s=20

I think it is fair to say the person "interviewing" this candidate did more to INTERFERE with his message than to allow him access to free speech. Don't you agree?

The episode revealed in this video shows how they're now taking it to another level, by directly censoring (bleeping out) everything the candidate has to say:

https://x.com/adamscrabble/status/1732974839810416666?s=20

I don't agree with everything Vivek has to say, but I don't need MSM censorship to assist me in deciding who deserves my vote. Do you?

Our Depraved Culture

Speaker of the House Johnson says the US is depraved and will be judged by G-d:

https://www.azerbaycan24.com/en/gays-in-schools-a-sign-of-looming-doomsday-us-house-speaker/

I couldn't agree more.

On the other hand, Jesus didn't even mention homosexuality so it's difficult to know how He felt about it.

He did; however, forgive the sinners He encountered, urging them to repent and sin no more; so I assume His stance toward gays and lesbians would be something along those lines.

Things That Make You Go Hmmm ...

From the web:

(1) However, Republicans remained unconvinced, blocking the spending package in the Senate, with the final vote being 49 in favor and 51 against. The measure was opposed by all GOP lawmakers, as well as independent Senator Bernie Sanders, who normally votes with Democrats, but this time expressed concerns about Israel’s military strategy in the conflict with Hamas. Democratic Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also voted “no” in order to have a chance to reintroduce the package later.

Alternatively, Schumer could have voted "yes" and VP Harris could have broken the tie, passing the bill. I think he's a better actor than his cousin Amy, and I doubt he gives a damn about you and me.

(2) 

Apparently they like the lies and want to protect the liars. A nation that hates itself this much cannot survive.

(3) 

Mr. Fish may offend some, but I think he's the greatest political cartoonist alive today.

BiBi BS

Here is an informative interview with Scott Horton of Antiwar.com explaining how the PM of Israel has used Hamas to ensure the Palestinians will NEVER have their own country:

https://x.com/Antiwarcom/status/1731818401016971461?s=20

I have listened to Scott for over a decade, and he knows his stuff.

Things Dictators Do

According to this report, "Joe Biden" and his henchmen have committed us to ditching coal as an energy source:

https://www.azerbaycan24.com/en/us-commits-to-ditching-coal/

How can THEY commit US to such a thing? Where in our Constitution does it give them such authority? Isn't such unilateral action the kind of thing a DICTATOR would do?

In contrast, President Trump was constitutionally authorized to be Commander-in-Chief AND to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed". But now they want to put him in jail for exercising those powers by questioning the results of the 2020 election. In reality, he had the authority to declare a state of emergency, to suspend what appears to have been a fraudulent election, and to arrest all the coup plotters.

But he didn't. And now those who appear to have conducted the coup are in charge.

Ain't that a fine kettle of fish?

[By the way, there is more evidence of electoral fraud than there was of Iraqi or Iranian WMDs, but you don't care about that, do you?]

And it also appears that King Charles of Great Britain is making similar proclamations:

https://www.zerohedge.com/political/king-charles-delivers-highly-politicised-speech-support-collectivist-net-zero-project

I don't think even HE has such legal powers.

If carried out, such schemes will have (at least) two major impacts:

1. they will destroy nation-states, and
2. they will kill a substantial fraction of humanity.

If you're like me, I doubt you authorized any of THAT, either.

Whom Are YOU Gonna Believe ???

I stumbled upon an essay about David Koresh today ... you know, the guy who led many of the Branch Davidians to their deaths in Waco, TX at the hands of the US government.

The essay said he was a polygamist who married several young girls, and that he thought doing so was OK because it reminded him of things in the Bible.

Source - https://libertarianinstitute.org/blog/techno-agorist-35-waco-pt-1-of-3-the-sinful-messiah/

Then I recalled the recent words of Bibi Netanyahu, Prime Minister of Israel ... you know, the guy who told modern day Israelis to kill the Palestinians because he read something like that in the Bible:

“You must remember what Amalek has done to you, says our Holy Bible. 1 Samuel 15:3 'Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass'," Netanyahu said.

Source - https://www.livemint.com/news/world/pm-netanyahu-invokes-amalek-theory-to-justify-gaza-killings-what-is-this-hebrew-bible-nation-11698555324918.html

Has G-d ever told you to kill anyone? He never told ME that.

Do you think G-d actually speaks to PM Netanyahu? I don't.

But even if He does, should WE help Israel kill anyone? I don't think we should. In THIS country, if someone says G-d told them to kill their neighbors, we put them in jail or a mental health facility, right? AND we take away their weapons. We don't give them billions of dollars worth of highly lethal weapons on top of what they already have.

On the other hand, if we should all agree that G-d WANTS us to help Israel kill people, we ought to ask WHY He needs our help and why He's not speaking DIRECTLY to each and every one of us.

I don't know about you, but I believe such a request (or command if you prefer) ought to come DIRECTLY from the REAL "Big Guy", not from someone claiming to speak for Him.

Wouldn't you agree?

A Puzzling Question

If the Israelis can drive out Palestinians who have lived on and worked the land all their lives, why can't we deport immigrants who were born somewhere else, just got here, and are living mainly on our tax dollars?

Asking for a friend.

Big Bang Boffins Are Baffled

If you've been paying attention, you know that the age of the universe is supposed to be 13.8 billion years:

https://www.space.com/24054-how-old-is-the-universe.html

But the JWST is discovering galaxies which seem to be much older than that:

https://www.sciencealert.com/jwst-just-discovered-two-of-the-most-distant-galaxies-ever-seen

Baffled? So am I. Stay tuned for some serious revisions to the 'standard model' of cosmology.

Who Needs More Pits ???

According to this report, the US is ramping up production of plutonium 'pits' for nuclear weapons:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/nov/26/us-nuclear-arsenal-plutonium-pits

I once interviewed for a job at the Rocky Flats Plant near Denver, which used to make such pits. Didn't get the job, which in the long run was probably a good thing. Plutonium is nasty stuff.

I did the research for my MSc degree at the Savannah River Laboratory, and I also worked there for a while in a post grad position. Didn't accomplish much except to generate more nuclear waste. The new pit program will do a lot of that, and if you recall ... the nation's high level waste disposal programs are non-functioning. There is no repository, and the facilities to process the waste are defunct (as far as I know).

All the BS about Russia and China being the reason for this flurry of activity is ridiculous. In reality, both countries were just going about their business as sovereign nation-states when the US decided to threaten them militarily. Why? Because we can't compete on a level playing field, and TPTB in the West are worried they'll lose their power and privilege if the OBOR/BRICS+ initiatives gain traction. The only 'solution' they can find for every problem is to threaten and attack.

By the way, it almost doesn't matter who the next US President is. This nonsense will continue. Bobby Kennedy, Jr. may make a lot of noise about dismantling the MIC, but such a thing would be a multi-year project. He'd be lucky to get much done even if he's elected to two terms.

Of course, when Israel decides to use their nukes, all bets are off. And I would be AMAZED if they don't. In my opinion they are a MUCH greater threat than Russia and China combined.

The Magic Bullet

No doubt you've read about the Secret Service agent who claims to have found the "magic bullet" of the JFK murder.

In my view, the reason behind his revelation is to perpetuate the fiction that Lee Harvey Oswald was one of the assassins, since the bullet "proves" his gun was used in the crime.

But a realistic analysis would conclude that bullet didn't hit anyone, ever.

And a THOROUGH, HONEST assessment would conclude Oswald wasn't even in the building when the fatal shots were fired:

https://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2020/11/right-under-our-noses_4.html

For additional, meaningful analysis, see Oliver Stone's 2021 film "JFK Revisited: Through the Looking Glass".

And if they can kill a president and his brother, they can certainly rig an election. The US is a fraud. All that "good" stuff they say about us is BS.

Brazen Lies

Not just lies, but brazen lies:

Imagine flipping a coin 4,645,908 times & getting heads 52% of the time - then, at 3AM, you flip it 154,000 times & it's 100% tails - that's Michigan. - Lara Trump

The US and the Several States made NO attempt to verify the integrity of the 2020 election, and I cannot believe the next one will be any different.

Time for a change.

A good start would be to release the J6 political prisoners and to turn them into poll watchers with real authority over the proceedings.

Death Tolls

According to this report, the Israeli death tolls on 10/7 are being highly exaggerated:

https://www.unz.com/article/israeli-death-tolls-for-the-october-7-hamas-attack-on-israel/

This short paragraph (if true) more or less sums it up:

Patrick Henningsen @21WIRE: “All of the main “so horrific” narratives attributed to Hamas on Oct 7th & subsequently used by Israel and western warmongers to justify the carpet bombing and genocide in #Gaza – have been proven to be completely fabricated. Thats right: total fake news.”

It all reminds me of the incubator babies in Kuwait, the WMDs in Iraq, the atomic bomb threat from Iran, and all the lies we've been told about 9/11.

Come on, guys. Stop the killing already. We are DONE believing anything you tell us.

When It All Started

This assessment claims US foreign policy fell apart when FDR died:

https://original.antiwar.com/james-carden/2023/11/07/us-foreign-policy-has-come-full-circle/

Something similar happened when Abe Lincoln was shot.

The deaths of FDR, Lincoln, and JFK were among the greatest tragedies our nation ever suffered. Had all three survived, this would be a much different and no doubt better country.

Baetyls And Tranissaries

In the wake of the final Beatles song, Now and Then, I thought I'd take the opportunity to discuss a little known aspect of the Beatlemania phenomenon.

Most if not all attempts to explain Beatlemania link it to the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, which occurred just a few months before The Beatles first appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatlemania). But what did the one have to do with the other?

I believe the events of those fateful months represented the beginning of the end of patriarchy and the ascendance of matriarchy in the West. Allow me to explain.

How was JFK presented to the world? He and his wife Jackie had carefully crafted public persona which portrayed them as the Greek deities Apollo and his twin sister Artemis (see https://blog.myparea.com/apollo-artemis-mount-olympus/). Jack (Apollo) was the President (male ruler), while shy Jackie (Artemis) played the role of his subservient wife. The murder of JFK was an act of sacrificial kingship, and in the public mind the outpouring of grief by and for Jackie helped shift the balance of power from male to female.

What did The Beatles have to do with this? Perhaps an alternate spelling of the band's name would help explain - The Baetyls. What is a baetyl? A sacred stone, one of which was associated with the ancient goddess Cybele.

The Phrygian goddess Cybele had been worshiped in ancient Greece and Rome. She was an exotic mystery-goddess who rode in a lion-drawn chariot to the accompaniment of wild music, wine, and a disorderly, ecstatic following. She had a transgender or eunuch priesthood. She was associated with mountains, town and city walls, fertile nature, and wild animals, especially lions. Some additional facts about her are quite illuminating:

• She was said to dwell in caverns;
• She had wild, ecstatic followers who would tear out their hair;
• Her orgiastic rites accompanied by wild cries and the frenzied music of flutes, drums, and cymbals; and
• She was worshiped in Pessinus (and later in Rome) as a sacred stone or meteorite known as a baetyl (pronounced just like "Beatle").

The "Beatles" of the so-called British music invasion had the following characteristics:

• They were discovered in the Cavern Club (which their manager Brian Epstein called "a cellar full of noise");
• They had wild, ecstatic followers who would scream and pull on their hair;
• Their orgiastic concerts were accompanied by wild cries and the frenzied music of guitars, drums, and cymbals; and
• Thanks to a 1966 interview with John Lennon, it may have appeared to some that America’s youth had taken up worshiping The Baetyls instead of Jesus Christ (see https://onesweetdreampodcast.com/blog/how-does-a-beatle-live-no-1-john-lennon-by-maureen-cleave-095).

These three sacred stones (John, Paul, and George) and their drumming cymbal crasher Ringo unknowingly helped swing the public spirit away from Christianity and toward Cybele worship, at least in its outward manifestations. While we may never know exactly how this was accomplished, the fact that Brian Epstein (a gay man) was the high priest who officiated over their live "worship" ceremonies may have had something to do with it. Another powerful influence may have been FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover, who by many accounts was a gay transvestite. His influence on America was pervasive and lasting.

That was then, but how about now? In what appear to be the waning days of global patriarchy (at least in the West), the ascendancy of women has been accompanied by the rapid growth of a transgender or eunuch priesthood and a cohort of woke transgender warriors known by some as "tranissaries" (see https://revolver.news/2023/04/tranissaries-transgender-movement-striking-parallels-ottoman-empire/). Their resemblance to the Janissaries of the Ottoman Empire seems more than a coincidence, and the growing importance of Turkey in the events now unfolding in the Middle East has to at least raise one eyebrow of every knowing observer. What is happening here?

Many people no longer believe in the reality of deities, at least the so-called "Christians" of the West don't seem to. Perhaps this is all a test of some sort, to determine whether people no longer willing to defend what the Bible teaches or believe in the reality and divinity of Jesus Christ are worth saving. I don't know.

But I do know that Satan is deceiving the whole world and that the love of many has grown cold; just listen to the hatred toward Hamas and Palestine in general. Is this what G-d wants us to do? I doubt it. Give this some thought and decide what it all means to you.

But whatever you decide to do, DO NOT TAKE THE MARK OF THE BEAST, no matter what people say or do to you. It may be the last real choice many of us have.

Are We Losing ???

Here is an assessment which claims the US is losing:

https://www.theautomaticearth.com/2023/11/the-us-is-losing/

What's most striking is that the three apparent prime movers in this serial debacle ("Joe Biden", Netanyahu, and Zelenskyy) all seem to be motivated mainly by self-preservation and the avoidance of criminal prosecution.

Hardly the best reasons for starting World War III, are they.

And why are the people in DC discussing replacing Bibi? That implies he is our puppet, or a puppet of whoever is really behind this headlong rush to war.

What's In The "Vaccines" ???

According to my understanding of this statement by "The Vaccine Mom", the jabs are safe and contain no fetal cells or other harmful stuff:

https://shotofprevention.com/2021/06/04/are-vaccines-made-with-fetal-cells-the-vaccine-mom-explains/

But according to the European Medicines Agency, the Pfizer "vaccine" contains the Simian Virus 40 (SV40) DNA enhancer, a potential cancer promoter:

https://www.zerohedge.com/medical/european-regulator-confirms-pfizer-did-not-highlight-dna-sequence-covid-19-vaccine

So who are YOU gonna believe?

Into The Abyss

Please watch this two minute video of an important warning Senator Frank Church gave us in 1975:

https://x.com/ModProCom/status/1605997129083731968?s=20

And now look at how far Big Tech has dragged us into the abyss of which he spoke:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/number-planned-low-orbit-satellites-now-exceeds-one-million/5838709

MORE THAN ONE MILLION SATELLITES, a "smart" phone in each hand, a "neuralink" in each brain, and innumerable spying devices in every home, place of business, and conveyance ... there now literally is NO PLACE TO HIDE.

Are you happy now? You better be, because the next step is the confiscation of your remaining property.

And according to El-On Musk (and he should know), AI will remove the necessity for people to work:

https://www.businessinsider.com/elon-musk-predicts-ai-will-lead-to-future-no-jobs-2023-11

Wake up, fellow useless eaters - that means TPTB will no longer need us for anything except as consumers. And when we can't afford to pay our rent or shop any more, they'll probably just come up with a way to kill us all.

Like maybe another experimental "vaccine".

Tragedy Of War ???

What does this look like to you?

https://www.yahoo.com/news/israeli-strike-gaza-jabalya-refugee-175156552.html

To me it looks like premeditated mass murder.

And one does not "accidentally" fire white phosphorus shells into civilian areas. That too is an intentional act, and in my view totally unnecessary ... unless its intention is to inflict horrible pain on the victims.

I have zero respect for Israel, Netanyahu, or any of the people who support them. I have ZERO desire for supplying them with ANY more money or military equipment.

And before you dismiss this out of hand, please read this letter of resignation by someone who knows the truth about all of this:

Don't Look Anywhere ???

Have you watched the movie "Don't Look Up"? I started to but stopped after a few minutes; to me it seems stupid and demeaning.

Here is an example of what I call "don't look anywhere":

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-12689915/figs-unprecedented-spike-premature-cancers-florida.html

We now have premature cancers, turbo cancers, myocardial disease, sudden death, etc., and NEVER ONCE do the mainstream reports even consider whether all this is due to the phony vaccines, a.k.a. mRNA genetic therapy.

I have no real idea why that is, but it seems to provide a good rationale for "artificial intelligence" - because human intelligence no longer exists.

Poisoning The Oceans

According to this report, baby seals are dying by the thousands:

https://www.azerbaycan24.com/en/around-2-500-baby-elephant-seals-found-dead-on-shore-in-argentina/

So what's happening in the South Atlantic which might be the cause? No one seems to know.

Perhaps ignorance is one of the reasons Ambassador Rahm Emanuel recently announced a deal which will force US military personnel to eat Japanese seafood potentially contaminated with radioactive material from the Fukushima nuclear accidents:

https://trendsinthenews.substack.com/p/us-troops-guinea-pigs-hate-china

Hey, the Chinese aren't stupid, but apparently our "leaders" are.

Could this be just another scheme to weaken the US military? I would not be surprised. The entire "Joe Biden" administration seems to hate the US and everything about us.

Billions May Die

This analyst predicts two billion people will die in the impending war cycle:

https://usawatchdog.com/2-billion-will-die-in-new-war-cycle-charles-nenner/

And here is a report about excess deaths no one wants to talk about:

https://brownstone.org/articles/veil-of-silence-over-excess-deaths/

The merchants of death are making lots of money:

And the Book of Revelation predicts the death of more than two billion in the coming tribulation (Chapter 9 KJV):

15 And the four angels were loosed, which were prepared for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a year, for to slay the third part of men.

16 And the number of the army of the horsemen were two hundred thousand thousand: and I heard the number of them.

17 And thus I saw the horses in the vision, and them that sat on them, having breastplates of fire, and of jacinth, and brimstone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.

18 By these three was the third part of men killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the brimstone, which issued out of their mouths.

If these things are from G-d, they're inevitable. If they're from man, they can and should be stopped.

What do YOU think we should do?

9/11 and 10/7

The October 7 attacks by Hamas and the 9/11 attacks by al-Qaeda have some things in common:

• what should have been early, clear warnings were ignored,
• the reaction to both events was/is way out of proportion, and
• both became/are becoming a global conflict.

Kinda suggests the same people (or at least the same kind of thinking) was/is behind both events.

Ralph Nader On Gaza

Ralph asks some hard questions about Gaza and Israel, questions the MSM are not asking:

https://dissidentvoice.org/2023/10/mass-media-needs-to-probe-deeper-into-israels-invasion-of-gaza/

Bravo, Ralph - but don't hold your breath. They're mostly shills for the murderous thugs who want this war. Everything fits into the "great reset" agenda, which by the way appears to include the destruction of the USA.

For a while I've had a perspective the United States is an engine created by The Founders to bring about the Biblical End Times. The fact we and the Brits are in lock step with our creation Israel over this "war" seems to confirm my suspicions.

Our New SPR

I keep hearing strategists say we shouldn't have drained our Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) and that Iran can cut off our supplies of oil:

https://youtu.be/v3eFcXIlYwY

I also hear whining about how "Joe Biden" chose Venezuela over Canada for our heavy oil needs:

https://realclearwire.com/articles/2023/10/27/biden_chose_venezuela_over_canada_for_oil_988911.html

NEWS FLASH !!! Venezuela IS our new SPR:

• It's got the largest proven reserves in the world,
• It's close to the US,
• It's outside the range of Iran's armed forces, and
• It's completely at our mercy.

If someone blocks the Panama Canal, we could easily build a relatively short pipeline to get crude across Colombia to the Pacific Ocean and to "Joe Biden's" friends in China.

And the best part is, since the US has a hammer lock on the VZ economy, we can set the price we'll pay when we let them give sell us their oil.

Win-Win, wouldn't you agree?

I'm even tempted to say, "See, Joe's not so dumb!" ... except it probably wasn't his idea.

The Temple Of Ayn Rand

Here is a wonderful takedown of Ayn Rand:

https://www.unz.com/article/dynamiting-the-temple-of-ayn-rand/

In case you were not aware, she had tremendous influence on the people who are now TPTB. So it's worth understanding what she really represents.

Long ago I read many of her works and for a while thought she was the cat's pajamas. But like the author of the takedown, I eventually became disenchanted.

I finally realized her views are anti-Christian, and that's enough for me.

Lies Of The Press

Here is an excellent discussion with a Holocaust survivor:

https://x.com/aaronjmate/status/1718037722445881522?s=20

Yes, the press is lying us into war again. This is something the First Amendment is intended to prevent, but apparently the US Constitution no longer matters.

After all, we're waging war on Palestine without a formal declaration by Congress and with no clear authorization for spending taxpayer funds for doing so.

Right v. Wrong

Here is one of the most important polls you'll find today:

We are on the WRONG side of history, AGAIN.

For those tempted to fit this into a Biblical narrative, I would argue the whole world is NOT against Israel and is certainly NOT attacking it. This is modern day Israel fulfilling the fantasies of "Rabbi" Meir Kahane:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meir_Kahane

Biden's Tent Cities

Mayors in major US cities may have to start sheltering immigrants in tents:

https://www.wsj.com/us-news/new-york-migrant-shelters-tents-24290d6b

One of the nation's first tent cities was set up by the Bonus Army in 1932, and the next big one was for the Poor People's March in 1968.

The first was cleared out by the Army, the second following the murder of Martin Luther King, Jr. Today's tent cities won't be cleared out by anyone, because the government is using them to continue their destabilization of our society.

We have shifted from a "war on poverty" to a "war on the middle class", funded by the debasement of our currency.

Clever, or diabolical?

Fact Checking The Israelis

Here is a report on claims the Israelis made about the Hamas attacks:

https://www.unz.com/article/what-really-happened-on-7th-october/

Seems like many of them were greatly exaggerated; no doubt to make their destruction of Gaza more palatable to the West.

Take note Israel is able to summon two US aircraft carrier battle groups to protect them, but on 9/11 the US apparently did not put a single fighter jet in the air to protect its own people.

Not one more penny or bullet for Israel. There is no way we should be supporting what they are now doing.

And as to the reports about flooding Hamas tunnels with nerve gas, where is the gas coming from? Remember how much everyone whined about Soviet era nerve gas in Syria? Well, it's gone, and allegedly the US has destroyed our stocks, too. So if the Israelis have a large supply, why did they make it, and who was the intended target? Could this be evidence they planned to kill the Gazans all along?

Even the Nazis didn't use nerve gas.

Nutty Nikki

Nikki Haley thinks the US needs a "Department of Offense":

https://www.azerbaycan24.com/en/us-needs-department-of-offense-not-defense-presidential-candidate/

Oh Nikki you're so fine you're so fine you blow my mind

Hey Nikki Hey Nikki

Oh Nikki you're so fine you're so fine you blow my mind

Hey Nikki Hey Nikki

In spite of all the claims to the contrary, that's what we've had since December 7, 1941. Yes, we have cleverly maneuvered our eventual enemies into attacking us (and when they didn't we just said they did), but it was the US who sucked every one of them into the hostilities.

And by the way, Nikki, haven't you heard of the Kellogg-Briand Pact?

We need another war monger as President like Joe Biden needs an unregistered foreign agent in the family.

Add Robbery To The List

The Israelis may be adding robbery to the list of crimes being committed against the Palestinians:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/israel-gas-oil-and-trouble-in-the-levant/5362955

If you recall:

• The US appeared to have helped Kuwait steal Iraq's oil via "slant drilling", which led to the first Gulf War; and
• Someone (perhaps helped by the US) stole Iraq's gold and Libya's gold; and
• The US has been stealing Syrian oil for quite a while; and
• The US and it's puppet regimes in the EU have been stealing Russian assets via "sanctions" ever since the start of the SMO in Ukraine.

Why do the two biggest liars in the world think they can get away with murder AND robbery? And perhaps even genocide?

Another Mess In Texas

We now have in Texas something which our troops experienced in Iraq - skin parasites transmitted by sand flies:

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/flesh-eating-parasite-leishmania-sand-flies-texas-dogs-cdc-report/

Yep ... let's keep that border open.

In my view, the greatest threat to public health is the US government and its agencies and accomplices.

About That Underground Test

There have been several reports about a recent underground "nuclear" test by the US. Here is one such report from those evil Russkies:

https://www.rt.com/news/585390-us-underground-explosion-nevada/

I have no direct knowledge about this particular test, but there is something you should know. During the Clinton administration, Secretary of Energy Hazel O'Leary revealed something about what the US was doing when we WERE conducting real underground nuclear tests.

The US often would place more than one device in each shothole, detonating them simultaneously. This practice would obscure the true nature and extent of the testing, and allow for clandestine testing of novel weapons or ones belonging to foreign entities (you can probably guess who).

Is there any reason to believe something like that wasn't done during this recent test? Perhaps the "chemical high-explosives and radiotracers" were there to mask something else which was/were detonated in that shothole.

There is always an element of truth in official lies.

Grids Not Capable

Here is a report about the "energy transition":

https://www.zerohedge.com/energy/worlds-electric-grids-incapable-supporting-renewable-energy-goals-agency

Note well this is not stopping them from sabotaging existing sources of electricity. You can expect a massive screw-up in your near future, when their incompetence finally catches up with them.

Culture Of Deceit

Here is a timely essay by Chris Hedges:

https://scheerpost.com/2023/10/18/chris-hedges-israels-culture-of-deceit/

I believe his version of the hospital bombing story.

Ask yourself this question:

Why do "the chosen people" and "the indispensable nation" always have to lie about what they're doing? Is that what G-d wants them to do? Doesn't He stand for the truth?

Here are two additional essays about the US:

https://www.globalresearch.ca/united-states-war-crimes/5561468

https://mises.org/wire/lets-examine-some-real-crimes-committed-presidents

You may believe the US is a force for good, but the historical record seems to say otherwise.

And once again, here is some wonderful art from Mr. Fish:

We can lie and distort all we want, and get away with just about anything, but G-d knows what we're doing and what is in our hearts. That may not mean much to you, but it should.

Update - 10/20/2023

Here is additional valuable discussion from an independent award-winning journalist who lives in the region and knows what he's talking about:

https://dissidentvoice.org/2023/10/this-is-another-iraqi-wmd-moment-we-are-being-gaslit/

Dugin And The Temple

"Israel is beginning, under blows from all sides, to build the Third Temple. Only Moshiach can save the situation… This is where the text of the predictive analysis (prophecy) abruptly ends."

Source - https://twitter.com/Agdchan/status/1713164910832537894?s=20 (with several translations)

He's not completely right. There is plenty which is predicted to occur before, during, and after the period when the Third Temple is built, and most of it is EXTREMELY unpleasant for humanity.

You can read all about it here:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Revelation%201&version=KJV

The part about the Third Temple starts around Chapter 11. But not precisely, because the Jewish, Christian, and Muslim versions of the End Times don't agree (no surprise there).

Not only is rebuilding the Temple the most important thing going on in the world today, it is probably THE chief reason for what is happening in the Middle East. The Temple Mount WILL be taken over by Israel and the Temple rebuilt ... no matter what it takes, no matter how many persons have to die. That should be obvious from how fervent the anti-Palestinian rhetoric has become.

And it's instructive that TPTB and MSM are neglecting to mention that fact, when they should be shouting it from the rooftops:

• Hunter is out of the news
• Border is out of the news
• Ukraine is out of the news
• Speaker drama is out of the news
• Biden Crime Family is out of the news
• Worldwide illegal immigrant invasion is out of the news
• Horrible economy is out of the news

NOW DO YOU GET IT ???

Middle East Blues

Here are some snippets from around the world:

1) https://www.theautomaticearth.com/2023/10/bibi/

One thing the author leaves out is that people who actually BELIEVE what the Torah, Gospels, and Koran say don't really care what worldly sources think about what they do. With G-d at their side, they'll do what they think He wants and not worry about the negative consequences. I think many people behind this war fall into that category.

2) https://www.theepochtimes.com/us/controversy-erupts-over-calls-for-us-to-accept-gaza-refugees-amid-israel-hamas-war-5510274 (behind paywall)

I heard yesterday that people from Gaza are ALREADY coming in via our southern border. An entire infrastructure has been erected south of the border which supports bringing in 400,000 to one MILLION persons PER MONTH from all over the world. "Joe Biden" is going to swamp us with refugees and other immigrants, and take note of what he is doing unilaterally while Congress is paralyzed by the Democrats in the House and Senate. Hyperinflation and chaos may will result.

3) https://www.cnbc.com/2023/10/14/israel-hamas-gaza-live-updates.html

It looks like there soon may be a massacre in Gaza, sponsored by the US and carried out by Israel. The carrier strike groups are moving in to protect Israel from outside interference, and possibly to support an attack on Iran. I think the disarming of Europe over the past year, allegedly to support Ukraine, was a clever ploy to ensure the EU stays out of the conflict. This entire barrage of evil deeds was planned and highly coordinated from the start by some VERY cynical people.

4) And finally, thanks to Mr. Fish for this thought-provoking explanation of what's been going on in Gaza and southern Israel:

This Is NOT A Religious War, Yet

Some folks, including at least one member of the US Senate, think we are in a "religious war":

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) on Tuesday declared that “we’re in a religious war” and called for Israel to “level” the Gaza Strip, home to over 2 million people, including about 1 million children.

“We’re in a religious war here. I am with Israel. Do whatever the hell you have to do to defend yourself. Level the place,” Graham said on Fox News. The hawkish senator posted a clip of his call for the destruction of Gaza on X.

Source - https://news.antiwar.com/2023/10/11/sen-graham-says-were-in-a-religious-war-calls-to-level-gaza/

It is no such thing. Even if it were, the US Constitution should make it clear (see Article VI, Paragraph 3, and the First Amendment) our government does NOT have the authority to wage war for "religious" reasons.

But assuming Senator Graham is consumed by the delusion ours is still a "Christian" nation and supports "Judeo-Christian" values, what would such a religious war look like?

In the case of Israel, the armies of the Lord would be carrying the Ark of the Covenant before them into battle. But there is no ark, or if it still exists where is it?

In the case of genuine Christian warriors, the ultimate future war will be the Battle of Armageddon. What is the "order of battle" for that conflict?

On the side of GOOD:

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.

His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Revelation 19:11-14 KJV

On the side of EVIL:

And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army.

And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.

Revelation 19:19-20 KJV

As we know, the dead in Christ who were sleeping in the grave will be raptured when the final trumpet blows. Since this will occur before the Battle of Armageddon, it's possible they will be part of "the armies which were in heaven". But the Bible does not say this directly.

Therefore, it appears that every LIVING person at the battle (with the exception of Jesus) will be fighting on the side of EVIL. This includes the US Army, the US Navy, the US Air Force, the US Marine Corps, all NATO forces, and anyone else foolish enough to join the beast, the false prophet, and the kings of the earth. The presence of military chaplains in their midst does not change this fact.

Source - http://sainthoward.blogspot.com/2013/09/armageddon-order-of-battle.html

There are additional factors which suggest this is NOT a religious war:

• The trigger for the recent attacks by Hamas was the realization Israel intends to destroy the al-Aqsa mosque to rebuild the Jewish Temple.
• As I understand the Torah, Messiah comes first, then the Temple is rebuilt, and the blood sacrifices are restarted.
• As I understand the Book of Revelation, the Temple is rebuilt, then the Antichrist reveals himself, and the Second Coming of Jesus Christ takes place.
• So, who is the Jewish Messiah, and where is he? This sequence starts with his arrival.

It just seems to me TPTB are hijacking the religious fervor and mutual intolerance of all sides to inflame the situation and use it for geopolitical purposes which may have NOTHING to do with religion. The fact it is the United States which refuses to allow peace negotiations to take place with Ukraine or Gaza says a lot about who is behind all this.

And by the way, if some are tempted to claim Netanyahu is the Messiah and "Joe Biden" is the reincarnation of King Cyrus II of Persia, you've got to be joking. But if you're not, that might explain the feverish actions currently underway to prevent Trump from assuming that mantle.

At the heart of the matter, it's bad enough if earthly forces are manipulating our religious beliefs to establish pretexts for removing or killing the people of Gaza. Even worse is our blind ignorance of the inevitability of Biblical prophecy and the possibility the current sequence of events somehow will trigger the End Times.

And we ought to be seriously concerned about the fact all this is taking place while the US House of Representatives is without a Speaker and impotent AND while our alleged President is starting a massive, unconstitutional war.

There is evil afoot in our world. Pray hard, and do NOT take the mark.

The Truth About Gaza

Here is testimony from a Holocaust survivor who has visited Gaza:

https://x.com/Resist_05/status/1712402483115614498?s=20

There will not be peace without justice, and there will not be justice without forgiveness.

If we as a people cannot see that, we're lost.

Civilization of the Antichrist

Here is wisdom from Alexander Dugin:

The escalation of Israel's war with Palestine will undoubtedly consolidate the Islamic world. Conservatives in the West are again talking about defending the 'Judeo-Christian civilization in the face of Muslims', and the radical ideology of Hamas provides them with a convenient excuse for this. However, a society of deep atheism, materialism and legalization of all kinds of perversions, which has long since abandoned traditional theology and values (and orientations), cannot be considered either Christian or Jewish. If the West, as it is now, supports Israel, it is seriously guilty of something. After all, if the devil's civilization is on your side, then you have done something wrong. There is no such thing as a Judeo-Christian world, it just doesn't make sense. The Islamic world, on the contrary, exists and in it, the traditions are still strong. It turns out that it is not the Judeo-Christians against the Muslims, but the Muslims against the satanic culture, against Dajjal. Biden's idea of combining the theme of support for Ukraine with support for Israel, only underlines this: the West is always on the side of those who submit to its hegemony and serve it. Muslims were not enemies of Ukraine and allies of Russia (with the exception of eschatologically awakened Iran and Syria), but now they will be. Russia is the pole of a multipolar world. Islam is the pole of a multipolar world. Both poles oppose the West's desperate attempts to save unipolarism and its global dominance at any cost, even at the cost of a world war. The Palestinian conflict with Israel was not the frontline of a conflict of civilizations. Now it is. Just as the tensions between Russia and Ukraine were regional in character until the Nazis in Kiev were supported by the West, the war in Ukraine has become the frontline of a global confrontation between multipolarity and unipolarity. The scope of this confrontation is growing. The situation is becoming more and more sinister. Already, billions of people on the planet are convinced that the collective West and its allies are absolute evil and the civilization of the Antichrist. Democrats, globalists and neoconservatives are leading humanity straight into the abyss. Which, strictly speaking, is what demons are supposed to do.

Source - https://x.com/Agdchan/status/1711820872619528591?s=20 (includes multiple translations)

Something tells me this is part of the "disinformation" on X the EU has been complaining about.

As far as I am concerned, he's right - the West IS the civilization of the Antichrist. That's why people like "Joe Biden" are working so feverishly to spread it while they can.

By the way, Bidenomics is bankrupting the nation:

https://schiffgold.com/key-gold-news/bidenomics-national-debt-increases-by-another-half-trillion-in-just-20-days/

If you think things are bad now, if our currency collapses we will DEFINITELY fall into the abyss. All part of the plan? Looks that way to me.
