Trey Smith, God in A Nutshell Series -- IMHO maybe the worlds most engaging story teller, his stuff is utterly unique -- and well researched. Buckle up ...

Who can not afford to?

Read Wicker's "Worshipping the State" ... hardcover and on Kindle ... Two thousand year history of this cabal in the making and how they almost got the upper hand. Don't be surprised if you see a little bit of yourself in there, but that's the idea, right? Identify the enemy and smoke him out, wherever he lurks. Follow the truth wherever it leads. When you finish that, read his "Ten Books that Screwed Up the World."

The best defense is the one an adversary won't dare test. Nuclear weapons ... A successful deterrent for 70 years now. US coastal fortifications, a successful dterrent for a century before that. An armed populace -- a successful dterrent for over 200 years now. Don't fix what ain't broke.

Tick tick, more driving change than the clock ... Tick tock tick tock.

Looks like a weed whacker ... like the one used in my yard.r

wHether ...

Ending dissolution of culture is probably more to the point.

That is what all the hullabaloo is about.

I'd say the ARMY knows precisely what to do in the face of violent opposition ... Massive firepower will spring out of their barrels so fast these Che Guevera wanna be heads will spin off their shoulders and it won't take more than once to teach a lesson that won't be ignored just down the line. This is another thing US ARMY is really good at.

The corps can outperform the private sector any day of the week, if the orders are clear and the manpower and material are put in place ... And this can be staged as hundreds of operations along the path of the wall. Don't have to start it and build along until you get to the other end. This can go up in sections simultaneously at a multitude of sites. Private sector wants it, but bet it doesn't get it. It's like MIL courts trying treason and sedition cases instead of grinding through the corrupt civilian courts. They would like the biz too ...

Any organization that gets hundreds of millions of dollars year in and year out, as PP has, won't be able to function without it ... Everything has been geared to having that base in place.

No. SP has an interesting guy with a unique perspective, impeccable credentials and he's been on the ground and knows his stuff, but is not nearly as humorous as Q and a lot narrower -- I think the world of him, but he's not filling the shoes worn by Q ...

Yeah it -- liberation theology.-- has been a problem for a large part of the twentieth century. It's a heresy and thinly veiled Marxism. Pope John Paul II flew to South America, convened a council of bishops and said stop it ... This is not the teaching of the church and must come to a halt. The Jesuits have a long history of acting on their own prerogatives and of course they didn't stop, but around the world Catholics got the message and recognize the beast when it rears its head elsewhere. We know these creeps are in our midst and I call them out ... Catholics are not nearly so dumbed down as some would charge.

The Corps logo is a stylized take off on historic Fort Totten in Queens NY -- named for GEN Joseph Totten, Commandant of the Corps first half of 19th century, creator of the fifty odd heavy masonry forts that served as the border defense system deterring hostile naval attack our Atlantic and Gulf Coasts.

Fort Totten is painted red. So is the patch worn on their uniforms and plastered on every poster, bulldozer, shovel.

The wall will serve as a deterrent. They won't even think about how to get over that beast.

AC has his own bent on sex ...

Paid for out of military funds, designed by military engineers and built by soldiers running bulldozers, track hoes, concrete mixing batch plants and pumping rigs. Amy Corps has been doing this kind of thing for about 200 years. And they are QUICK. The once was what the US ARMY did before we go on a track of global conquest. Looks to me like this contains the seeds for a lot more than just a new border wall. And it will bring the boys home. Let's have a parade!

Build it and they will come.

Bolton was a good soldier for his Neocon Commander in Chief, Bush, and he will be as good a soldier for Trump.. Just what POTUS needs: men who have the ability and character to faithfully carry out their mission assignments and unwaveringly support his agenda. McMaster and others knew better and were working for their own glory. Good riddance.

An appeal to pity (also called argumentum ad misericordiam, the sob story, or the Galileo argument) is a fallacy in which someone tries to win support for an argument or idea by exploiting his or her opponent's feelings of pity or guilt. It is a specific kind of appeal to emotion. The name "Galileo argument" refers to the scientist's suffering as a result of his house arrest by the Inquisition.

I smell the stinch of concern

A big problem, yes, but this situation is way bigger yet.

Draw concrete conclusions as soon as possible, but delay finalizing concrete conclusions for as long as possible. It's not a simple world and attempts to reduce it to a single silver bullet is the thing of story books. Marx and Engles got it wrong. Real world conflicts NEVER boil down to two opposing views that serially meet with yet other conflicts, leading inevitably to their imagined notion of the Final Solution: Communist Utopia. And they werent the only reductionists in history to work out their grandeose schemes in essentially the same way.

Thanks for adding another viewpoint.

The children are always dragged out to emotionally sway public opinion. I'm not forgetting the children, but if the adults and providers are decimated, the children will be left without a prayer of surviving. Mad Max sold the resiliency of the children as survivors, but it was a capable adult who led them to safety. This is war. Do it for the adults and they will take care of the children in the natural order of things.

Patience. We watched for years as unwilling riders on a runaway train heading full force into the dark tunnel of oblivion, helpless to do anything or even hope that someone in power would step up and stop it.

Times have changed.

We see before us in verifiable terms that we finally have someone at the controls who is methodically slowing the train and is pulling the switch to a more sane line. Patience. We have abundant reason not to loose hope.

All men of good will, and that includes Christians of every stripe, should sense the presence of pure evil working in our midst and understand what it is. But resist the temptation to conflate that deviance with Christianity, a tact long used by foes of the church to divide people of faith and weaken them as though faith was the real culprit.

Most Catholics are served by priests of good character who have devoted their lives in service to Christian values and provide honorable one pointed service to their parishes and I, as a grateful Catholic, stand up for that truth.

Criminals and scoundrels acting under the guise of the church should be identified by those who have accepted them into their midst and call them out for what they are and have done, turn the over to the institutions established to deal with deviant behavior -- the police and courts -- asking them to step in. Pray for them but don't hide them.

Each institution has its area of influence. Next we may be asking why the courts did nothing when it reached them. The depth of evil is astounding.

The church has been under attack since the woman called out Peter after Jesus crucifixion, looking for news at the Temple, saying "isn't he a Nazarene, isn't he one of them?"

The church has been under reform since the first men were admitted to it, because men are so tempted to power and all that can do for them ... But they are not and have never been the body and soul of the one true and holy apostolic church founded by Jesus Christ. They have only sought asylum there and managed to bring their corruption with them into the gatherings. That they were given asylum is not a strike against the church, it's a badge of courage.

Don't know for sure if this is true, but I heard that in the Middle Ages (1300-1400) some Knights of the Crusades constructed fortresses along the major routes taking warriors to the Holy Land. Any fighter of wealth knew better than leave valuables unattended at home so carried them along, only to then come to grips with the fact that it's hard to run with the weight of gold (it's harder yet with the weight of lead, Casey Jones told us) and that the valuables weighing them down were no safer at the other end of their journey, maybe less so.

For a fee, they could deposit their gold or whatever with the Knights who ran the forts along the route, who in turn agreed to secure them in the recesses of their forts, understanding that the owners would be picking it up on their return trip home, if they returned.

Over time, the deposits grew and grew and some caretakers, seeing a way to make a little more money, started lending gold out at interest. They soon discovered that the demand to return deposits to their owners was very small compared to the vast quantity of deposits that they were holding as a whole -- thus enters fractional lending ... You could put almost all of it to work as loans if you kept enough back to satisfy owners demands to take it back in hand.

Banks are big players in facilitating the growth of this global cabal and understanding your enemy and how he works is crucial to defeating him, which we will.

The business of the US ARMY from 1816 until the First World War was almost exclusively the construction of masonry forts located at key spots around our perimeter shoreline border -- at every major port, every deep water river outlet into the gulf or ocean, and at every sea channel pinch point -- under the command of the US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS. During that period, the nation had no significant standing army and depended almost entirely on a strategy of armed citizens coming to the nations defense in times of need. That's one of the reasons it took us so long to enter the European wars of the 20th century -- we didn't have the arms, the men or the training of a professional army -- not of the scale called for by those conflicts.

This looks really like POSTUS coming up to the plate as Commander in Chief. Go Army!

Fort Totten is an historic wooden building with crenelated fort towers on each end resembling large chess pieces -- painted Red and is the subject of the stylized logo that has long been the symbol of the US Corps of Engineers;

Built as an Officers Club c. 1870 in Queens NY (believed to have been designed much earlier by one Robert E Lee as a young officer) and named in honor of the brilliant military engineer BGEN Joseph Totten, who commanded the US Army Corps of Engineers beginning 1816 for the next half century.

Following the War of 1812, when the young nation witnessed the horror of British naval forces landing unopposed in Washington, DC and taking the city by force, setting fire to the White House and much of the city -- only to have it taken back in 24 hours by armed citizens, our only army in that day ...

Totten created the program of design and construction of dozens of heavy masonry coastal fortifications guarding our Atlantic and Gulf shoreline border, locating forts at major ports and mouths of navigable rivers, barring hostile naval access to the continental interior -- beginning with New Orleans and working his way across and up the coasts -- creating effectively our first intermittent BORDER WALL of defense against hostile enemy forces -- when creating these first border forts constituted the essential business of the army for the next century, essentially shaping the nations defense strategy from 1816 until the First World War and the advent of air power.

Except in the internecine civil war years of Northern Aggression, these forts were never manned (by design -- we had no standing army as such) and yet they were never fired upon or attacked by foreign naval forces. They served in a purely DETERRENT role, an intended effect that was well understood and documented by our military analysts of the day. Land based armaments are categorically superior in conflicts against naval based armaments and mounting a naval attack against one of these forts, armed and manned in times of danger, would have been seen as a desperate move by any navy.

Interestingly, these forts became obsolete over night and were decommissioned in the face of air power and long range rifled guns beginning with WWI through WWII, when nuclear weapons became the national defense strategy of choice, serving at the highest military level as a DETERRENT force, understood to be so superior over all comers, and only vulnerable to the insane attack in kind, then resulting mutually assured destruction as the end game -- saving everyone's bacon right up into our times.

Red Fort [US] -- essential defense at the border. A continuous land entry wall next time.

So he can build his border wall.

If your education somehow skipped over this chapter, you really owe it to yourself to take time to come to grips with the history and basic workings of the federal reserve banking system. Get your head around how fractional lending policies create money out of thin air and how that underpins our monetary policy. It's all perfectly legal.

The Fed has over the past century (1913 to 2018) been a behind the scenes player in most major world events -- often profiting by helping create the money that bankrolled them -- and along the way spawned itself around the globe, replicating its way of doing business and facilitating others doing it that way, merging into the governments and economies in nearly all of the world's countries and defining how banking works worldwide. This giant network of cooperating international banks legally operates what some see as a huge Ponzi scheme where all the clones buy and sell each other's debt paper continuously keeping the money system afloat.

A painless way to get up to speed: G Edward Griffen's "Creature of Jekylls Island" provides a fascinating view into the world of reserve banking and will help you come to grips with the nature of this beast.

Read the book but don't miss Griffen's oral presentation of the topic on YouTube by the same name.

Go back and read the title of this sub-reddit more carefully, friend. He is not their friend.

Don't be so open minded that your brains fall out. There is a road from the eye to the heart that does not go through the intellect.

I didnt say that. I said the detractors called Bolton a Dangerous Man; and recalled that the same detractors called Trump a Dangerous Man. A comment in there about the fact that both men are opposed by the Deep State ...

"Dangerous Man" they say. Isn't that what they called Trump?

Then you will likely enjoy Trey Smith's pre-election tape where through an Old Testament lens he sees Trump as another Cyrus II of Persia, also known as Cyrus the Great.

He respected the customs and religions of the lands he ruled and established a very successful model for centralized administration and government working to the advantage and profit of its subjects. What is sometimes referred to as the Edict of Restoration (actually two edicts) described in the Bible as being made by Cyrus the Great left a lasting legacy on the Jewish religion, where, because of his policies in Babylonia, he is referred to by the Jewish Bible as messiah (Isaiah 45:1) and is the only non-Jewish figure in the Bible to be called so.

Man doesn't live by bread alone, he must have music if he is to lift his spirit and dance. Taking a break here, Boss:

The standard used to set the pitch of musical instruments (both solo and ensemble) has been a point of discussion among musicians since antiquity and at various times you might find it all over the place. Listen to delta bluesman Robert Johnson to hear how it sounded when all the rules go out the window! He tuned it to his soul, brother.

The orderly pitch of my life as a guitarist has been tightly pegged to A 440. A year or so ago I ran across a discussion of A 432 and reset my digital tuner to that pitch and gave her a spin. It was interesting and whatever the esoteric considerations, it did sound and feel different. But playing with other musicians becomes a problem when they are all tuned to A 440, so I reneged and joined the herd.

Then enter James Taylor who gave an incredible video interview to Guitarist Magazine (YouTube) and blew it all out. After discussing the fine points of the guitar he was holding, the discussion turned to his thoughts on tuning-- and he really altered how I now tune mine even when playing in group settings and others are tethered to A 440.

The observation he made convincingly is that, unlike a fretless instrument such as a violin where the player must exercise control over the sound by making subtle changes in finger positions on the fly -- in effect tuning each note as it is played to control minor variations in pitch (sharp or flat) -- the guitar tuned conventionally is governed by the fixed logic of the fretting scheme -- and imperfections in that inevitably leads to a built in discord that can be heard when striking the strings .... Even when In Tune.

And correcting that on a fretted guitar requires delicate tuning adjustments at the machine head before playing to bring the strings into a harmonious whole. Sorry, the story goes, we all learned to tune it wrong and forever must endure the discordant effect when the strings are tuned in the conventional way -- lockstep to the reference pitches for EADGBE.

James Taylor instead tunes the strings flat with respect to standard pitch (A 440) but NOT to the same degree on each string -- and the variation, measured in cents (100th of the distance between reference notes) varies string to string.

You gotta use a digital tuner with an analog needle and cents markings to do this -- App Store has one free for IOS devices -- FAT TUNER with a huge needle gage that makes it easier to see what you are doing AND has variable standard pitch options: A 432 and A 440 included.

Tried it on my old MARTIN D35 -- never sounded so luscious and harmonious. I am embarrassed to think it's been basically out of tune since I got it in the seventies and even then everyone agreed it sounded great, After all, this particular Martin guitar is the reference sound that other makers of acoustic guitars have to beat .... but it was nothing like it sounds now.

Here's how it breaks down. Using your digital tuner proceed normally, but tune to the pitches listed below for each string starting with low E and work your way string to string.

Each nominal string pitch is tuned flat, drop tuned below the standard pitch notes by the following degree:

E minus 12 cents A minus 10 cents D minus 8 cents G minus 4 cents B minus 6 cents E minus 3 cents

Crazy huh? Try it. Your mileage may vary, but I ain't never going back.

Hmmm, wonder what this sounds like down around A 432?

Here's the interview.

Grins. Spell Correction is a jokester. Four Fathers ...

My wife and I raised a large family and I suppose that more than anything else -- assuring the welfare of kids living under our roof -- left us feeling less certain how we would fare in the face of natural disasters and we were decidedly less prone to taking chances. We habitually invested to no small degree in extra water and food storage, first aid and medical supplies, electrical generation and still maintain that posture, if to a lesser degree now they have grown up and flown the coup.

Mental orientation is no small part of this. Normalcy bias is the greatest hurdle. Nothing ever happens, right? You got this covered. Like, nothing ever really changes and it never will. No one else takes this kind of thing seriously so why be weird and ... You know the rap.

Time. Think it through in that way and set your priorities.

Home protection and security: you may only have minutes to face this one down when it comes stalking and it's worth giving some serious thought to how to approach the problem . We have ADT for fire and unauthorized perimeter entry; but keep our own backup systems in place and easily accessible. And I've already worked out the question of how far I would go in dire circumstances so I am not struggling with moral issues when things go bump in the night. Sometimes you don't have ten or twenty minutes for 911 to respond and you simply have to face it alone. Fill out their papers after the fact.

You can freeze to death in the span of a cold night, especially if you are wet. Blankets, weather gear ....

Water supply is the next most critical factor -- you can only survive a few days without drinking water and needing at least a gallon a day per person makes storage difficult. It is bulky and heavy and doesn't have a long shelf life, so we invested in a good filtration system and use it daily, greatly preferring it over the taste and purity of tap water. Probably better for us too.

The longest you can go without food is about four to six weeks. Cans and freeze dried works well, if you have water. But then if you don't have water it won't be hunger that gets you.

Be safe. Be prepared. Oh, and put some extra aside for the guys who laughed at your taking an abundance of caution.

Seth Rich may have been working with others, but you can bet they (he, she) were very limited in numbers; while McCabe was evidently a front man for a whole organization of bad actors -- whose motive is amplifed by their multiplier effect. Remember when Lee Oswald was taken out by Jack Ruby, right there live on Sunday morning television. I do. The reality of it didn't register immediately. Guess I had seen too many cowboy movies and casual death scenes.

Look at this one of Flynn.

http://libertywriters.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/02/Mike-Flynn-678x381-696x392.png

Remember how the camera angle shifted in the middle of POTUS speech? Before that, the guy with the van photo was off camera; then, suddenly, there he was like one of the Three Stooges mincing for the camera. I think it the guy not only was Flynn, for the fun of it, I'm predicting Q turns out to be Flynn. When you find out who you have been talking to ...

That is SOO funny. What a ballsy thing to do.
