  1. Morning All!
    well, we’ve got the second quilt on the bed! it’s chilly. (Though in fairness, we have the vent closed in the bedroom upstairs because the wood stove usually sends enough heat upwards that it gets tooo warm with it open.)
    but no fire last night…waiting for the splitter to come to make more kindling.

    How’s the War of Stories going?

    All these storylines have managed to do is expose exactly what Donald Trump and the America First ideology want to expose—that being the utter ineptitude of our would-be ruling class to do anything other than enrich themselves and their proxy states and proxy wars at our expense, all against the backdrop of a deteriorating financial and cultural situation in the United States—a narrative trend that will continue en route to whatever happens on or before the 2024 election.

    This pattern is being mirrored across the sea, as leaders like Putin, Xi and Orban comment on the hypocrisy of the Globalist West and its central hegemon in Washington, DC, as well as the increasingly-inept, toothless bloviating of the vampiric bureaucrats in Brussels.

    This mirroring implies coordination, and this coordination, as I often argue, implies control.

    In short, we are not alone in the war against the Deep State cabal, and we are winning.

    I love how the public are willing to blindly believe Israeli MIL without evidence.

    But when Russian MIL accuses the US of creating bioweapons, accompanied with the paper trail, US grants, photos inside the facilities, with detailed reports to the UN…

    That’s “disinformation”.

    I’m just curious as to which governments I’m supposed to blindly believe, and which ones I have to ignore no matter how much evidence they provide. If someone could get me that list, that would be great, because clearly I didn’t get the memo.

    SCOOP: Law enforcement sources in California have told me that Police in Long Beach, California have been given a gag order to not talk about the fact that the man who was arrested yesterday after committing vehicular jihad in downtown Longbeach, CA is a Muslim who carried out his attack in the name of Islam.

    When FBI responded to the scene yesterday, source tells me FBI said they can’t mention the killer was a Muslim terrorist and ordered all police to not speak about it to the media.

    The media is only referring to the terrorist killer as “a man booked for murder” after the Muslim man named Khalid Yagobbi intentionally rammed his car into a woman pushing a stroller and ran over at least 5 other pedestrians.

    The woman died, and @FBI
    responded to the scene, but police inside @LBPD
    were told they can’t mention that he’s a Muslim and that this was an act of Islamic terrorism in support of HAMAS’s call for Jihad.

    In June, Tom Fitton and Judicial Watch sued Joe Biden’s DOJ to obtain the names of the radical Democrats who are members of Jack Smith’s Special Counsel.

  19. person who couldn’t keep a company afloat after BILLIONS in gov’t subsidies is in ultra maggot’s administration…
    entire article
    I’m no financial guru, but I would think that someone who steered a private company into bankruptcy, despite receiving billions of taxpayer dollars to prop it up, probably isn’t the most qualified advisor on economic, fiscal, and trade issues—but Joe Biden seems to disagree.

    Gareth Joyce is the CEO of Proterra, a company that manufactured rechargeable buses thanks to more than $8 billion in seed money given to it by the federal government, declared bankruptcy this summer. But apparently, Joyce still finds gainful employment on our dime, thanks to Biden’s apparent mission to hire the most incompetent, unfit, and clownish cabinet in American history. (Sam Brinton, Karine Jean-Pierre, Richard Levine, etc.)

    Joyce sits on what is known as the ITA, or the International Trade Administration, and according to a Washington Examiner report out today on the matter:

    Under the International Trade Administration, the group ‘advises the President of government policies and programs that affect U.S. trade performance; promotes export expansion; and provides a forum for discussing and resolving trade-related problems among the business, industrial, agricultural, labor, and government sectors.’

    If someone received billions of dollars, and still can’t keep a company afloat, then clearly their idea is terrible, or they blow at running a business—or realistically, probably both. If I were permitted to keep the money I earned, and invest it in ventures of my choosing, I would never sink my hard earned money into a venture that manufactured and sold highly temperamental rechargeable buses. They don’t run in the “extreme cold” or the “extreme heat,” which manifests as out-of-commission vehicles for a majority of the time… because “extreme cold” and “extreme heat” are really just normal temperatures. Some studies show that the very small window of performance is between 59 and 86 degrees Fahrenheit, which is a measly 27 degree range.

    Furthermore, Proterra’s demise specifically presents like Solyndra under Barack Obama—for more on this, read a blog I wrote on the issue a few weeks back here.

    Yet, thanks to a criminal and unconstitutional tax code, and corrupt politicians, I have no say whatsoever in who my seized wealth subsidizes. This is the modus operandi of the Establishment though—Jackass and Elephant alike— running political popularity contests while we foot the bill.

    Would you be surprised to learn that Proterra was once recognized by the World Economic Forum as a “Technology Pioneer”? I didn’t think so.

    Our government has been hijacked by anti-American interests and foreign operatives keen to sabotage the economic prosperity of America first… which is exactly why Joyce still has a place in Biden’s regime.

  20. NF: A peek behind the curtain is always interesting and revealing!
    “Fighting for Freedom: A day in the life…”
    TOM RENZ
    OCT 17, 2023

    EXCERPTS: “I spent a bit of time deciding whether to write this SubStack and decided to do so. Please note as you read that my purpose is to show that life only gets in the way of the fight for freedom if you let it and life impacts ALL of us.
    ————–
    Every day has another struggle. I have two boys (10 and 13 years) and they are very good kids. That said, I’m a dad and that requires time. The time I am able to give to my family is precious but also precious little. A workday for me can easily extend 16 or more hours and I am constantly torn. On one hand missing my family is hard and has a direct impact on them. On the other, if I do not fight to make things better in our country and around the world I believe I may be sacrificing their and everyone else’s future. So what do you do?

    My wife’s cancer is another issue. Upon her diagnosis I did what I do and immediately started researching. It turns out that the cancer industry is quite clearly corrupt. While I have not gotten far enough in my research to know precisely how corrupt I can absolutely tell you that there are numerous alternative treatments available for cancer that are likely better and safer than mainstream treatments that have been suppressed or ignored because there is no money in them. That said, I have to find a way to ensure the health of the mother of my children and since the medical establishment refuses to do anything but steal money from sick people I have to work every day with others to find real safe and effective paths forward in fighting this.
    ————–
    I hate money but it is necessary for life, work, and everything else so, while I really don’t care about having it, it does present another layer of difficulty in fighting bad guys. And that is really what I care about. My passion is fighting bad guys. I love doing it and am good at it. Despite all the issues I face as a human, the fight is something that I can do that is good for everyone and the only damage it causes is to people that hate freedom… people for whom I care very little.

    That aspect of the fight also presents an interesting dilemma. I am proudly Christian but also a sinner. Because of my passion for the freedom fight and the damage being done to innocent people around the world, I frequently find myself having to step back to ensure I am fighting for justice rather than seeking revenge. The pursuit of revenge would leave me bitter and result in me being no better than those I am fighting. That said, it is difficult to maintain that outlook when you and so many you care about are attacked for fighting for freedom. The line between justice and revenge is easily blurred and something I have to constantly keep in check.
    —————
    Despite all these issues, I am honored to be a warrior. A warrior is a manifestation of this imperfect world – a person who has to fight where fighting is only necessary because the world is so imperfect. As a result, a warrior is always both part of the problem and part of the solution. If you are on the side of a warrior you view them as part of the solution, if you are against them you view them as the problem. Objectively, a warrior is inherently either a good person that sins (destroys) by trying to improve things for others or inherently evil in that he/she destroys things for their own selfish purposes. I hope to always be the former and as long as I am then I am proud to be a warrior – broken or not.

    The balance between the daily issues of life and the larger duty we have to do right in the universe is incredibly difficult. Nothing really changes when a nobody that fancies themself a fighter spends a lot of time on TV and in the media… you just find that the things you do become bigger and more difficult. I say all of this only to provide context and, hopefully encouragement, to those that are not wealthy or famous and trying to fight. The fight for freedom is thankless and difficult but completely worth it.

    For my part I cannot fathom standing by and watching the world burn as my children grow up into a tyrannical disaster. I did not enter this fight as a big shot and, despite the fact that I now have a platform, my universe has not changed outside of having more influence and a tougher fight. You, the reader, do not need to be a big shot to enter this fight either. You may have broken vehicles, family health issues, less money than you need, and many other issues but you can still fight – you can always fight. At the end of the day, we leave this world with nothing more than we came into it with and the only thing that matters is what we did and what we fought for. I hope this provides encouragement for all that are deciding whether they want to fight today and I sincerely pray that you find the courage to start or continue to stand….”

I was watching for outward signs they were ripening, like smell and color, but nothing appeared to be changing. So I decided to cut one of them to find out what was happening inside and I find ripe, juicy meat, ready to eat! And here I was beginning to think they were a lost cause!

  29. “Israeli DNA and Human Lab Rats — The Future’s So Bright – Bibi Gotta Wear Shades”
    ROBERT W MALONE MD, MS
    OCT 17, 2023

    EXCERPT: “Listen to Benjamin Netanyahu (below in this short video) talk about he purposefully used his own people as experimental lab rats during the pandemic. How he sold Pfizer on the idea of using the jab in Israel first – so Pfizer could collect data on an uncharacterized, experimental product. That is was possible for Pfizer to do this experiment on an entire population because of the great digitized medical record keeping by the government, going back twenty years.
    (Video)
    Bibi then goes on to theorize about the possibilities of using his own people as lab rats for other clinical trials in the future, because the possibilities of combining a population’s medical records with a comprehensive population-wide DNA database are endless. Think of the money to be made, the biotech companies flocking to the new biotech nirvana: Israel. The Future’s So Bright – Bibi Gotta Wear Shades.

    All it requires is the arbitrary removal of rights of the Israeli people. Which Benjamin Netanyahu did by selling out the Israeli people to be the lab rats of Pfizer, so that Israeli citizens could be “first” to get the jab…

    This is the future folks. It is also the past. It doesn’t seem like I need to bring up the atrocities of Germany under the National Socialist party. However, It is easy to forget what happened, as it really was so long ago – in terms of generational memory. The Nationalsozialismus machine was responsible not only for the internment, torture and death of millions of people, it also used non-consenting human beings, particularly Jewish people as human guinea pigs in a number of horrific experiments. From that, the world learned a valuable lesson. Governments then codified that lesson in international and national laws throughout the world. I have studied and written extensively over the years regarding what happens when governments forget about human rights and bioethics…”

  35. “Terrifying Haunted House Just Displays Current Gas And Grocery Prices Along Dark, Creepy Hallways”
    U.S. · Oct 16, 2023 · BabylonBee.com

    BELTON, MO — As the Halloween season kicks into high gear, local residents have been buzzing about the newest, most terrifying haunted house they have ever experienced. Surprising reviews claimed the attraction just displays current gasoline and grocery prices along dark, creepy hallways.

    “It’s the most horrifying thing I’ve ever seen,” said attendee Butch Reed. “I can handle seeing ghosts and goblins and scary clowns and gory scenes with people covered in blood, but once they showed me a digital display showing regular unleaded gasoline at $9.99 per gallon, I just about lost my lunch.”

    The attraction — which has officially been named “Scariest Haunted House in America” for 2023 — made the innovative decision to forego the use of expensive costumes or special effects, opting instead to simply force people to confront their worst fears, such as the price of milk, eggs, and ground beef. “They really shouldn’t be allowed to show this stuff,” said Ron Simmons after he exited the building. “I saw some kids trying to sneak inside. Can you imagine the type of psychological damage seeing this horrible stuff can do to their minds? C’mon, people!”

    Despite the controversy, the owner of the haunted house, Theodore Long, was pleased with the response. “I’ve been running haunted houses for years,” Long said. “This is the first year we’ve actually had people screaming and running out in tears. It’s bone-chilling stuff they see in there.”

    At publishing time, local residents were putting up signs to warn attendees of the frightening imagery they were about to see after entering the haunted house, with many people saying they were unlikely to ever feel comfortable going to a grocery store ever again.”

    7. You have a heavy machine gun mounted in the bed of your 1994 Toyota pickup truck: Unless you live in Kentucky, this is a red flag.

    GREG REESE
    OCT 17, 2023
    (Video)
    EXCERPT: “The word “Israel” was first presented in the Bible as a name given to Jacob after he fought an angel. Its meaning was a man who has struggled with God. And is commonly translated as “God Prevails” or “Man seeing God”. Many have argued that the word Israel in the Bible does not refer to a place, but rather a believer or a group of believers in God.

    Others believe the land known as Palestine was where the Biblical state of Israel once stood. And in the 17th century, Sabbatai Zevi was the first Jew to try and re-settle there. Sabbatai Zevi claimed to be the Messiah and amassed a large Jewish following that engaged in ritual sex orgies and the defilement of God’s law. In the spring of 1666, they were planning to be the first Jewish settlement in Palestine. But things changed when Sabbatai was arrested and thrown in jail. His radical movement continued with the Frankism movement, and Zionism became more political.

    Although they claimed to be secular, the Zionists flooded the temples with prayers for a return to Zion and a restoration of the Jewish state. But the rabbis rejected them. In 1885 the rabbis wrote that “we consider ourselves no longer a nation, but a religious community; and we therefore expect neither a return to Palestine, nor a sacrificial worship under the sons of Aaron, nor the restoration of any of the laws.”

    While the rabbis offered no support, the Zionists garnered the support of the British Crown as early as 1841. And they were funded by the Rothschild banking dynasty, otherwise known as the Bank of England, so the Crown was likely involved from the start. In 1897, the political intent to re-create the state of Israel was made official to the public. And in 1917, under the British government’s Balfour Declaration, British troops seized control of Palestine on behalf of the Zionists.

    In 1922, the League of Nations adopted the declaration. And in 1947, the United Nations granted parts of Palestine to the Zionists.

    Between 1947 and 1949, Palestinians were made refugees and kicked out of the homes of their ancestors. Hundreds of villages were destroyed, and thousands of Palestinians were murdered in a series of massacres known as the Nakba. The Zionists killed Palestinian Muslims, Christians, and Jews…”

  39. “A Plea for Free Thinking–Resist Emotional Manipulation”
    PEPE LIVES MATTER
    OCT 17, 2023

    ENTIRE ARTICLE: “People want to emotionally manipulate us into complying with their narratives and agendas. We’ve seen this during the Covid pandemic in its most dastardly form. They told me that if I didn’t wear a mask or insert experimental poison into my veins I would kill my grandmother.

    Do you see what they are doing? It’s called control through fear, shame, and extreme pressure.

    The people attempting to tell me I need to think and feel a certain way can shove off because I refuse to bow down now that I’ve become fully aware of their little plans. When they tell you that you MUST support such and such or you are a terrible person, they are simply attempting to force you into a box and away from free thinking.

    Think for yourself and question what you want. It’s your God-given right. I’ll never apologize to anyone for doing so and neither should you. Am I supposed to agree with Donald Trump and other’s public opinion of things at all times? Because if that were the case, I’d be vaccinated right now, probably suffering from some side effects of being a sheep who never passed the test.

    Anons are in a precarious position most of the time because we don’t fall in line with the majority of people and we often question the most established beliefs held by the masses. We are the proverbial black sheep and you know what? I kind of like it here. I think I’ll continue to resist groupthink. If I didn’t, I might as well hang up my kicks and call it a day with this anon thing and quietly go back to accepting everything everyone says.

    But we all know I can’t do that and hopefully neither can you. Because once you wake up, there’s simply no way you can come back. So we might as well embrace it all the way until kingdom come. I wouldn’t have it any other way at this point. I say that free thinking suits us very well, indeed. But what do you think?”

  42. “The Rothschilds have controlled US money supply since 1804 when Alexander Hamilton, US finance minister and aristocrat during Pres. Thomas Jefferson, coerced Congress to sign a charter with the Rothschild financier family to print US currencies. The Rothschilds did the War of 1812 to keep $ control… Then they created the Federal Reserve in 1913. The rest is history. Now we are all financial slaves to the Rothschilds. Also, the Rothschilds ran the Epstein/Maxwell operation and run the US government and CIA/Mossad.”

  46. It’s turned into a beautiful day, even with the wind that’s come up – enough I had to take my Trump flag down. But still….76 and patio doors are open. Jake has examined the entire patio, smelling everywhere that GT went, and cleaning up all the little leftover pieces of food. He sniffed all around the doggie door but I chased him away in case he had thoughts of scooting outside. He is now lying on the mat near where I put her food dish, lazing in the sun. Still no sign of her.
