The Unfortunate Death of Dr. Thomas Burchard
PART ONE

HarleyLady27 posted the following on the previous thread:

https://nypost.com/2019/03/22/body-of-doctor-found-in-trunk-of-car-in-desert-outside-las-vegas/

Just thought while we were talking about children, you might like to ponder over this article, this guy being a child psychiatrist and all, and at the end of this article, another body found near the same spot earlier????

Texokie’s response:

That is a VERY interesting find, IMHO, HarleyLady27!

A few choice paragraphs caught my eye, which no doubt are ones you saw as well:

“...Police in Las Vegas want the public’s help in the homicide death of a beloved CHILD PSYCHIATRIST who was found dead in the trunk of an abandoned car in a remote desert area earlier this month.

The body of Dr. Thomas Burchard, 71, of Salinas, California,was found on March 7 in an abandoned vehicle on State Route 157, east of the Las Vegas Valley. A motorist driving through the area with his children noticed the car had a rock thrown through one of its windows...”

[What can we learn about him?]

https://www.healthgrades.com/physician/dr-thomas-burchard-yqtx8

He had no malpractice, board actions, nor disciplinary claims against him. He practiced for 42 years in Monterey, CA. His specialties were the treatment of Child/Adolescent Psychiatry, of those with ADHD/ADD, Major Depressive Disorder, and Psychiatric Diseases.
This web site had 3 reviews, with 2 giving him 5 Stars, and one giving him 1 Star.

[From what we have seen, he does seem to have been well respected and loved.]

[Back to the article about his death:]

“... Judy Earp, Burchard’s longtime girlfriend, said the couple visited Las Vegas for a PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY CONFERENCE IN FEBRUARY...”

[This is an interview of Judy Earp stating how devoted he was for his patients:

https://www.ksbw.com/article/longtime-girlfriend-of-murdered-child-psychiatrist-speaks-out/26849903

[This is probably the conference they attended, which was held February13-16, 2019]

https://10times.com/conference-psychopharmacology-update

“The Annual Psychopharmacology Update Conference provides information on the psychopharmacological treatment of psychiatric disorders most commonly encountered in clinical practice. It is designed for all clinicians who prescribe psychotropic medications and will address indications, contraindications, management of adverse events and liability issues.”

Among the exhibitors named include:
US Psychiatric and Mental Health Congress
Astra Zeneca
Neuroscience Education Institue
Electromedical Products International Inc
Alcoholics Anonymous
Overeaters Anonymous
Menninger Clinic
Progenity

The Menninger Clinic clanged a bell for me. I have a sense that we have seen it mentioned before in some of our previous digs. Perhaps those with better memories or files than I do can help us recall those details.

First off, when I entered “Menninger Clinic” what pops up first is “Menninger FOUNDATION” which was started in Topeka KS in 1919.

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

“…The school fostered treatment programs for children and adolescents that were recognized worldwide. In the 1930s the Menningers expanded training programs for psychiatrists, psychologists, and other mental health professionals….”

Their school of psychiatry was formed in 1946 for the purpose of treating our veterans.

“…The Menninger School of Psychiatry and the local Veterans Administration Hospital represented the center of a psychiatric education revolution. The Clinic and the School became the hub for training professionals in the bio-psycho-social approach….”

[Is it possible that this description is DERP-SPEAK for some of the areas of experimentation in mind control/psyops, etc. which we have been reading about since October 2017?]

Dr.Will Menninger, was quite prominent with hands-on psychiatry:

“…Dr. Will Menninger served as Chief of the Army Medical Corps’ Psychiatric Division during World War II. Under his leadership, the Army reduced losses in personnel due to psychological impairment. In 1945, the Army promoted Dr. Menninger to brigadier general. After the war, Dr. Menninger lead a national revolution to reform state sanitariums….”

[So far the Conference Dr. Burchard attended has some in attendance as Vendors, who have pristine public images, but which perhaps bear further scrutiny, such as Menninger, for example. Menninger rates about a hot pink flag, IMHO.

In Part Two, we will continue to examine a few brief paragraphs from HarleyLady’s find.

PART TWO
The Unfortunate Death of Dr. Thomas Burchard

[Now back to Harley Lady’s article from Part One:]

https://nypost.com/2019/03/22/body-of-doctor-found-in-trunk-of-car-in-desert-outside-las-vegas/

“…Burchard worked for California-based Montage Health for nearly 40 years in its behavioral health program, according to spokeswoman Mary Barker….”

[OK, well who is “Montage Health?” - the drums roll, and Ladies and Gentlemen, we find none other than ANOTHER FOUNDATION.]

https://www.montagehealthfoundation.org/montage-health-foundation/who-we-are/#.XJVSrC2ZPy8

“Montage Health Foundation was formed in 2017 to provide Philanthropic support to Montage Health and its family of companies, including Community Hospital of the Monterey Peninsula. The foundation’s mission is to advance the vision and strategic priorities of Montage Health by inspiring giving that enhances and improves the health of the entire community….”

They have 30 Trustees listed at the link. Perhaps some names might be recognized by our Californian FReeQs if they are so inclined to peek. The structure of the web site has the text data in image form, so could not be cut and pasted. I did copy info from the VP/Chief Development Officer, Kevin Causey:

“Kevin Causey, Vice President/Chief Development Officer
Kevin Causey joined Montage Health Foundation in 2017 as chief development officer, bringing extensive experience in nonprofit leadership and development. “I am so excited to lead Montage Health Foundation, the philanthropic entity dedicated to supporting Montage Health’s vision to meet community health needs,” Causey says…”

…Causey most recently worked with the St. Francis Foundation serving St. Francis Memorial Hospital in San Francisco. He oversaw development, grant making, fund raising, operations, and board relations…”

He is also involved in SF JAZZ and was responsible for a $65 million capital campaign, and has been in the leadership of OUTWARD BOUND.

It all sounds good. But remember that San Francisco is Nancy Pelosi’s stomping grounds. “Development, grant making, fund raising and operations” are areas we have seen in other foundations which have been found to be notoriously mismanaged. We can certainly hope that is not the case here.

I have been tracking strange and early and prominent deaths now for several months and have started maintaining a list before Q called for one in recent drops. Information on Dr. Burchard’s passing has been gathered to that list, with thanks to HarleyLady27 for the alert.

I have no substantial data points to conclude anything about Dr. Burchard and his death. But I do have some questions.

The possibility exists that he could have been a horrible person with a very good kindly mask.

HOWEVER:
I don’t think so.
His practice record was apparently spotless. He helped raise his girlfriend’s children. She seems nice in the film clip, even though she sports the fashionable strange spray on two toned hair dye color. The impression I have from the photos shown on the clip seem to be of a man who really was a straight arrow.

I do not see evidence of any pink or hot pink or red flags to give him from the little bit of the record we’ve examined of his life.

Why was he killed? Was it a random miscreant, ie an illegal alien/criminal type? Had he seen something on that trip which endangered him? Had he seen something or even done something in his career that endangered him? We hope that the LEOs are able to solve the mystery.

Prayers and condolences go for him and his loved ones.

For those who wish more detail about the 2nd body found in the vicinity, the last paragraphs of the article supplies some information about that. The Qlock tick tocking on the Qanteen Mantle precludes me from digging on that worthy aspect of this story.

I was setting out to do what I could to preserve the youtube from my previous post on this thread, #569.

Title of the youtube:

COUP/ASSASSINATION PLOT EXPOSED!— GOODBYE [MP] [PR]

I was going to go so far as to transcribe it. I was 1:47 in, when I heard this citation from Area 17:

Area 17 states:
"This was uploaded by Real True News on October 13th. ….."

[sound of needle scraping vinyl]

WAIT!!!!! A few days ago, someone asked me what I knew about “Real True News” as a source. I didn’t dig deep, but at the time, I was not disposed to think they were a reliable source. I promptly forgot about it….. until I transcribed that web site name, REAL TRUE NEWS. The dime dropped. I had missed that source citation both times I had listened through that video.

YIKES! AREA 17 (AND I) HAVE PROBABLY BEEN TROLLED!

I OWE ALL AN APOLOGY, ESPECIALLY MIKE PENCE AND PAUL RYAN. THOSE EMAILS PROBABLY ARE NOT GENUINE.

http://www.realtruenews.org/about

From “the about page” on Real TrueNnews at the link just above:

“REALTRUENEWS / THE RESISTOR IS SATIRE. IT'S SAD WE HAVE TO SAY THIS--BUT WE DO. NOTHING ON HERE IS REMOTELY REAL.”

Just based on the above quote taken directly from the Real News “about” page, I now equate “REAL TRUE NEWS = “ONION” ...or worse.

I will need a LOT more proof that those emails are genuine. I do not believe they are.

The last email cited was of the Real True News guy saying that he didn't think Paul Ryan meant to copy him to the email thread should have been a clue. IMHO, this was a TROLL EMAIL THREAD.

AGAIN, TO RANSOMNOTE, and ALL WHO LOOK TO OUR FREE REPUBLIC Q THREADS FOR NEWS, I TENDER MY REGRET AND APOLOGY FOR THIS STORY ABOUT RYAN AND PENCE AS BEING POSSIBLE PLOTTERS.

I HAVE NO PROOF OF THIS. AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED IT IS NOT TRUE.

This post begins the ANTARCTICA DIG REPORT, “ANTARCTICA - WHAT’S GOING ON?”
with 12 Parts. In an effort to try to fulfill the requests for two different formats, here follows the LONGER VERSION:

All of these posts can be found as replies to post seven of this thread:

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3736607/posts?page=7#7

ANTARCTICA - WHAT’S GOING ON?
PART ONE

There I was. Just minding my business, drinking my covfefe, and enjoying lurking on the Q thread. As often happens, a FReeQ posted something that assaulted my curiosity.

In this case,
Gen it was completely unfair. I had no fighting chance! I had not heard about all that regarding the famous people going to Antarctica. Or maybe I had, and just had not pondered it at all.

Down the bunny hole I went. I had not realized the extent of the numbers of prominent people who had been there. I don’t know why, but I arbitrarily fastened my attention on John F’n Kerry first. I dimly recall reports of him going there, but really had not followed it.

So, why did he go? And when?

It turns out that John F’n Kerry (did you know he served in Viet Nam?) went to Antarctica at a VERY strange time, given his position as Secretary of State.

Max Bearak reported in the Washington Post of November 7, 2016 that JOHN F’N KERRY - WHO SERVED IN VIET NAM - WENT TO ANTARCTICA ON ELECTION DAY, 11/8/16!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/11/07/americas-top-diplomat-is-en-route-to-antarctica-this-election-day/

Well, there was no turning back. The boiler plate of the story was that he had planned it long in advance and that it was all about Climate Change being the reason for the visit.

Perhaps so.

I kept searching about his visit. I was not able to find anything from good sources, aside from the aforementioned “Climate Change” which is the explanation for the visit.

But I did find a press release from the Pew Trusts….From MARCH 18, 2013, which shows Kerry’s interest and involvement in the subject.

https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/about/news-room/press-releases-and-statements/2013/03/18/john-kerry-to-discuss-conservation-of-antarcticas-southern-ocean

In this article we are told that The Pew Trusts organized a big meeting about protecting the Southern Ocean.

“Pew to host diplomatic gathering as Ross Sea decision approaches

“With less than four months until a long-awaited decision on new protections for portions of the Antarctic Southern Ocean, The Pew Charitable Trusts today will welcome U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry and ambassadors from around the world to discuss proposed marine protected areas in the Southern Ocean, including the U.S.-New Zealand effort to create the largest marine protected area on Earth in the Ross Sea….”

“…The Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources, or CCAMLR, was formed in 1982 to address the conservation and sustainable use of marine life in the Southern Ocean. It makes decisions by consensus….”

They had tried earlier in 2011,

“…But the commission could not reach consensus,”

So, March 18, 2013, they planned to try again. Pew Trusts was hosting the international gathering in Bremerhaven, Germany.

Perhaps it should be noted Hillary Clinton resigned from the Office of Secretary of State on Feb. 1, 2013. Only a month and a half later, John F’n Kerry (W.S.I.V.N.) was involved in a huge international meeting regarding ANTARCTICA and the waters around her.

And then, on election day, potentially the last day he would hold power as Secretary of State, without potentially being a lame duck, guess where he is? ANTARCTICA. Of course for another international meeting.

The 2013 press release by The Pew Trusts makes much of their activities in support of the various environmental issues regarding the Southern Ocean. Joshua Reichert, the executive VP of the Pew Charitable Trusts, makes much of global warming. I suppose they had not gotten the memo yet that people were starting to see through that and that we would soon be talking about “climate change:”

“…”The Ross Sea is one of the most pristine places left on Earth,” said Joshua Reichert, executive vice president of The Pew Charitable Trusts. “It now faces challenges, brought on in great part by the warming of the earth’s climate, that threaten to alter the fragile web of life that has endured for millennia. While we cannot prevent some of these changes from taking place, we can protect it from other types of pressures such as industrial fishing that will further exacerbate disruption….”

I wondered about this paragon, Mr Reichert, and looked for other work by him in the Pew Trusts web site. There were several stories I found, with more available at some links which I did not follow. The oldest one I saw reached back to 2006.

I noticed a list of names in the left margin. I did not know any of them…..until I saw…the name of a famous person.

We will get into that in the next part.

This post begins the ANTARCTICA DIG REPORT, “ANTARCTICA - WHAT’S GOING ON?”
with 12 Parts. In an effort to try to fulfill the requests for two different formats, here follows the SHORT VERSION:

All of these posts can be found as replies to post seven of this thread:

http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3736607/posts?page=7#7

It was generally who posted the following:

“Twitter rumor:
Why did one Jeffrey Epstein’s planes fly to Antarctica on July 23rd 2019 while he was locked up? July 23rd was the day Epstein had been found semiconscious in his cell with marks on his neck...what’s in ANTARCTICA?”

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EB_ysLiWwAA_Oof?format=jpg&name=900x900

“IDK if the rumor is true, but Antarctica seems to be a focal point for a lot of people at a lot of odd times. JF’nK went there on election eve/night in 2016. The pope was there. Can’t remember right now, but a few other significant people have gone there for no apparent reason.”
https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3772004/reply?c=464

Well, naturally I had to look into it.

The first thing I learned was that John F’n Kerry not only went to Antarctica - he went on ELECTION DAY 2016: NOV. 8, 2016 to be precise.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2016/11/07/americas-top-diplomat-is-en-route-to-antarctica-this-election-day/

I learned that back in 2013, the PEW TRUSTS had organized an international meeting in Germany about preserving the oceans around Antarctica - and John F’n Kerry attended that, showing that he has had some interests in Antarctica for a while before his 2016 visit.

There were some other press releases from PEW TRUSTS which caught my eye. In particular I was focusing on JOSHUA REICHERT, the executive VP of the Pew Charitable Trusts. I found some papers he had written, as well as a list of names in the margin of the page listing the papers. I was unfamiliar with all but one of the names. Those papers and The Famous Name are examined in PART TWO.

ANTARCTICA - WHAT’S GOING ON?
PART TWO - LONG

So who was at least peripherally involved with the Pew Trusts’ list of important people?

THEODORE ROOSEVELT IV.

And guess what?

He wrote a paper with Joshua S. Reichert about the “GLOBAL OCEAN LEGACY HAWAII.”

“Global Ocean Legacy Hawaii”
https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/projects/archived-projects/global-ocean-legacy-hawaii

by Joshua S. Reichert, Theodore Roosevelt IV

“President Bush is expected to declare the northwestern Hawaiian Islands a national monument today, thereby creating the largest marine reserve on earth….”

I know this isn’t about Antarctica right now, but please bear with me. Pew seems to be a big player down there, so perhaps it isn’t wasted time to poke around them a little.

On the same page on which I found the article with co-author Teddy IV, I also found this story blurb. Without clicking on the article, I could not see any connection to either Reichert nor to Teddy IV. But it seemed interesting in light of the Uranium I scandal.

It may have nothing to do with that, but is a possible dot in our huge constellation of dots before us, which we are assured by Q need connecting:

OK…. That sounds interesting. Let’s click on “Campaign for Responsible Mining” and see what might be there:

https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/projects/archived-projects/campaign-for-responsible-mining

Mining of hardrock minerals—gold, uranium and other metals—on U.S. public lands is governed by the General Mining Law of 1872. Virtually unchanged since it was signed by President Ulysses S. Grant to promote development of the West, this frontier-era statute is no match for today’s modern mining. Under the 1872 law:
Mining companies—even those that are foreign-owned—are allowed to take approximately $1 billion annually in gold and other metals from public lands without payment of a royalty.

There is scant regulation of the nation’s top-polluting industry and few resources to clean up abandoned mines. The Environmental Protection Agency has documented more than $2 billion in taxpayer spending over the past decade on mine cleanup.
Mining is given priority status, on most public lands, making it nearly impossible to prohibit or restrict it, even near national parks and other iconic places, like the Grand Canyon.

The Pew Campaign for Responsible Mining is a national effort to educate and encourage the public and policy makers to adopt a modern framework for mining in the West. Today:
Taxpayers lose a conservatively estimated $100 million a year because, unlike with the coal, oil and gas industries, mining companies can extract valuable resources from public land essentially for free.

[Well, yeah, I can get behind that point.]

Taxpayers face a multi-billion dollar mining cleanup bill. According to the Environmental Protection Agency, the mining industry releases more toxic pollution than any other.

Federal agencies give hardrock mining on public lands priority status over other uses. It remains nearly impossible to restrict mining near national parks. Important water sources, wildlife and local communities are also vulnerable.

[Yes….And yet there are ways to make mining and other mineral extractions environmentally safe and clean. A balancing act always ensues when there is mining. Miners / mineral extractors are not all bad guys. Here in Oklahoma, there are a lot of oil fields and coal mining sites which the companies are careful to clean up and reclaim.]

The law allows claimholders to buy public land for $5 an acre or less, and to use it for anything from condominiums to casinos. Congress has temporarily halted the practice.

[Interesting, I did not know that. IMHO that statement would need to be verified.]

Worse yet, a new rush is on in the West. In recent years, mining claims for uranium, gold and other metals on public lands have increased dramatically. Many of these new claims lie near treasured national lands, as well as highly populated urban areas and tribal lands.

[Hmmmm wonder if it is possible Hillary/U-1 fits in here somewhere?]

It’s time to reform the 1872 Mining Law and reclaim our public lands for future generations.

[Maybe…. But not in a derpish way.]

OK let’s look at that other link associated with this story:

https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/fact-sheets/2011/11/15/protect-the-grand-canyon-from-new-uranium-mining

Protect the Grand Canyon from New Uranium Mining

FACT SHEET
November 15, 2011

[Here is an excerpt, and the reason it shows up in the search is because it has a reference to Teddy IV’s presidential forebear.]

Oppose H.R. 3155, the “Northern Arizona Mining Continuity Act of 2011”

“In October of 2011, the Obama administration announced its support for a long-term ban on new mining claims on roughly 1 million acres of national forest and other public land around Grand Canyon National Park. The move, following more than two years of study, came after Interior Secretary Ken Salazar issued a temporary halt to claimstaking in response to the skyrocketing number of new claims, mostly for uranium, around the park. The administration’s decision would apply a 20-year moratorium under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act, an authority that has been used to protect other places from new mining claims, including Yellowstone National Park and Oregon’s Coos Bay.

Unfortunately, H.R. 3155 would bypass this process and ensure that every one of this million acres around the Grand Canyon remains open to new uranium mining.”

“The one great sight which every American should see.”
President Theodore Roosevelt

“The Obama administration’s action to protect the Grand Canyon applies only to future claims; current mining and existing valid claims are not affected. In fact, several uranium mines are operating now, and the Interior Department predicts that another seven may be developed, even with the administration’s moratorium.
Without the 20-year “withdrawal,” however, at least 30 mines and more than 725 exploration projects are predicted, potentially transforming an irreplaceable natural treasure into an industrialized mining region….”

Well now, isn’t that interesting? Could it be that the Obama Admin did a feel good regulation, and then put a tooth puller in it….which dedicatedly religious environmentalists would find objectionable?

Hmmmmmm. I’m wondering just exactly what IS Pew Trusts? Do they actually care about the environment?

In addition to the amazing sea life around Antarctica, the southern continent there also has amazing mineral resources. To back up that assertion, here is a duckduckgo search blurb on that:

https://www.azomining.com/Article.aspx?ArticleID=239

Antarctica: Mining, Minerals and Fuel Resources

“With mineral and fuel resources depleting in other parts of the world, China and Russia have expressed their interest in exploring the region for minerals and fuel. Without this ban on mining, most mining experts agree that Antarctica is a very inhospitable and expensive place to conduct any mining related activities.”

So who REALLY is Pew Trusts? Are they only involved in environmental issues?

We will explore that a bit in the next post.

The famous name was Theodore Roosevelt IV. He wrote a paper with Joshua Reichert, the executive VP of the PEW CHARITABLE TRUSTS. It was about the oceans surrounding Hawii.

ANTARCTICA - WHAT’S GOING ON?
PART THREE LONG

I found it difficult to find good unbiased info at the Pew Trusts web site, so I went to Mr. Wiki and his completely unbiased Pedia: </sarc

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

It is really quite interesting.

“The Pew Charitable Trusts is an independent non-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO), founded in 1948.

With over US $6 billion in assets, its stated mission is to serve the public interest by “improving public policy, informing the public, and stimulating civic life.”

“The Trusts, a single entity, is the successor to, and sole beneficiary of, seven charitable funds established between 1948 and 1979 by J. Howard Pew, Mary Ethel Pew, Joseph N. Pew, Jr., and Mabel Pew Myrin — the adult sons and daughters of Sun Oil Company founder Joseph N. Pew and his wife, Mary Anderson Pew. Honoring their parents’ religious conviction that good works should be done quietly, the original Pew Memorial Foundation was a grantmaking organization that made donations anonymously. The foundation became the Pew Memorial Trust in 1956, based in Philadelphia, the donors’ hometown.…”

“Although today The Pew Charitable Trusts is non-partisan and non-ideological, Joseph Pew and his heirs were politically conservative. The modern day organization works to ENCOURAGE RESPONSIVE GOVERNMENT AND SUPPORT SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH ON A WIDE RANGE OF ISSUES, INCLUDING GLOBAL OCEAN GOVERNANCE, CORRECTION REFORM, AND ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANCE.”

[Well, that is scary and sounds derpetoid to me.]

“Early priorities of the Pew Memorial Trust included cancer research, the ***American Red Cross,*** “
[YIKES!!!!]

“and a pioneering project to assist historically black colleges. Later beneficiaries included conservative organizations such as the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY, THE AMERICAN LIBERTY LEAGUE, AND THE AMERICAN ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE, as well as environmental organizations such as the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, Oceana, and MAINSTREAM THINK TANKS LIKE THE CENTER-LEFT BROOKINGS INSTITUTION. The Trusts continues to fund charities in Philadelphia.”

[[I had not heard of the American Liberty League, so here is the first paragraph from Mr Wik on THAT subjecti:

“The American Liberty League was an American political organization formed in 1934, primarily of wealthy business elites and prominent political figures, who were conservatives opposed to the New Deal of President The American Liberty League was an American political organization formed in 1934, primarily of wealthy business elites and prominent political figures, who were conservatives opposed to the New Deal of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Its principles emphasized private property and individual liberties. Its leader Jouett Shouse called on members to:

‘defend and uphold the constitution of the United States ... to teach the necessity of respect for the rights of persons and property as fundamental to every successful form of government ... teach the duty of government to encourage and protect individual and group initiative and enterprise, to foster the right to work, earn, save, and acquire property, and to preserve the ownership and lawful use of property when acquired. Its principles emphasized private property and individual liberties.’

It was highly active in spreading its message for two years. Following the landslide re-election of Roosevelt in 1936, it sharply reduced its activities. It disbanded entirely in 1940.” ]]

We are most of us here familiar with the “mainstream... center-left Brookings Institute.” I also think most of here don’t see that as very “center” left, but full on left.

OK, so here where I am with all this right now about Pew Trusts…. (And I suspect our FReeQs will see lots of things I miss. )

Provisionally, I think it is possible they really do care about the environment at some level. However, I do think all issues coming from the derps regarding the issue are tainted with the “sustainable” and controlling aspects of what they say it takes to keep the environment protected.

I think a case can be made that there have been some patriots involved in the Pew organization founders, and perhaps some, especially more recent generations, have been duped by believing the PR rhetoric of such things they have supported as the RED CROSS. They have also supported the JOHN BIRCH SOCIETY…but we have learned that at that $6 billions mark, the likelihood, as we are so unfortunately learning, most of the big money guys are eventually turned to the Derp Side.

We also see ROOSEVELT’S OFFSPRING OF a few generations removed, being involved with the Pew Trusts efforts at ocean management. Time changes everything, because the founders of the Trusts were apparently not very much in favor of President Roosevelt’s policies.

And here is another little factoid about Pew Trusts.

The Pew Trusts is the mother organization for the very well known Pew public opinion polls, at Pew Research Center. As I understand it, it is one of the more reputable polls out there…. But they do indicate that they are for “IMPROVING PUBLIC POLICY.”

I have not studied the various polls, but I am now wondering if the Pew polls and surveys are as honest as they seem, or do they indulge in their own fancies when it suits them to “improve public policy, inform the public, and stimulate civic life.”

Well, you and I both know that their statement can mean a lot of things. And we also need to bear in mind Pew Trusts do have their eyes on a lot of things….including Antarctica.

https://www.pewresearch.org

Now, let’s get back to ANTARCTICA and see if we can learn anything about who... and why are prominent people going there. And there may be a detour along the way…

ANTARCTICA - WHAT’S GOING ON?
PART FOUR

EPSTEIN’S PLANE

In the first part of this dig, we saw generally’s post about anons talking about Jeffrey Epstein’s plane going to Antarctica, and she reminded us of the various prominent people who had gone there.

[Just before posting this part 4, I realized I had left out the original post which precipitated my interest in this dig. My apologies for leaving that out! Generally posted a response to this post by Melian, which I had not seen until retracing my steps to locate the original post by generally:]

MELIAN:

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3772004/posts?page=447#447

“Twitter rumor:”

“Why did one Jeffrey Epstein’s planes fly to Antarctica on July 23rd 2019 while he was locked up? July 23rd was the day Epstein had been found semiconscious in his cell with marks on his neck….what’s in ANTARCTICA?“

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EB_ysLiWwAA_Oof?format=jpg&name=900x900

GENERALLY:

https://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/3772004/posts?page=464#464

“IDK if the rumor is true, but Antarctica seems to be a focal point for a lot of people at a lot of odd times. JF’nK went there on election eve/night in 2016. The pope was there. Can’t remember right now, but a few other significant people have gone there for no apparent reason.”

Now that we have that sorted out, the concern about Jeffrey Epstein’s plane going to the Antarctica looms large.

The issue of did JE’s plane go to Antarctica seems to be a controversial one. One guy at reddit, who states he is a plane fag, is jumping up and down saying that JE did not go to Antarctica, while others seem to be insisting that he did.

Here is that discussion thread:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Epstein/comments/cql96a/epsteins_plane_still_active_723_flew_to_antarctica/

Hmmmm….Often I will see a search blurb, but cannot find the same data at the actual thread. That happened in this case with that reddit link above. But then I don’t hang out at reddit, so I may have missed something. This is the wording of what the search blurb returned:

“Its kind of pissing me off some of you arent listening. Trust me people, he did not f**king go to Antarctica. I’m literally as close to an expert on aviation as you guys will get here, and I am also completely into 99% of the conspiracies on Epstein so you cant say I’m a shill…”

[The F word censored by texokie]

And here is a link to a story outlining the possibility that the tail number on the JE plane is the same as a State Dept aircraft:

https://patriotssoapbox.com/opinion/did-jeffrey-epsteins-plane-fly-to-antarctica-while-he-was-in-prison/

Excerpt:

“The Jeffrey Epstein case keeps getting more and more bizarre. If you have been following along you will recall that back in early July, when Epstein had first been arrested for the second time, it was reported that his plane might have shared a tail number with the U.S. State Department and DynCorp, Inc….”

The above story also gets into a discussion of human trafficking and Kosovo and disturbing issues like that. The story also gets into a timeline of Giuffre’s activities.

So just who all DID go to Antarctica?

We will delve into that in the next part!

ANTARCTICA - WHAT’S GOING ON?
PART FIVE
POPE/RUSSIAN ORTHODOX PATRIARCH/ AUSTRALIA’S COSGROVE

Generally mentioned in her post the Pope, but he didn’t actually go there. Nevertheless, he does seem to figure in the story at some level. It was Patriarch Kirill, leader of the Russian Orthodox Church who went there.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3453122/Forgive-father-Leader-Russian-Orthodox-Church-chased-penguin-history-making-trip-Antarctica.html

Picture of Kirill greeting the penguins:
https://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2016/02/18/15/31587B9900000578-0-image-a-43_1455810841262.jpg

“Kirill was on a tour of South America that had included a historic meeting with Pope Francis in Cuba, the first encounter between the heads of the long-estranged Churches in nearly 1,000 years.”  

According to the story, there are 10 Russian research stations in Antarctica. He held prayers for polar researchers as well as 64 Russians who have died there on polar expeditions. He prayed for the entire world.

“ About 30 nations operate permanent research stations in Antarctica including the United States Russia, Australia, Britain, France and Argentina.”

There are some pretty cool pictures at the link to the story showing the Patriarch among the penguins and so forth.
The visit was February 17, 2016. (The article was published February 18, 2016.)

There are speculative stories about the meeting between the Pope and the Patriarch, as one might imagine. There are mentions of an artifact and some documents, and even a “bizarre ritual” - but I need to leave that right there, because it goes into TwiZo Land. (Q-ing up the Twilight Zone chimes…)

So, who else?

Peter Cosgrove, Australian Governor-General also visited Antarctica:

http://www.antarctica.gov.au/news/2016/governor-general-visits-australian-antarctic-territory

Governor General visits Australian Antarctic Territory
18th November 2016

“The Governor-General, His Excellency General the Honourable Sir Peter Cosgrove AK MC (Retd), has visited the Australian Antarctic Territory, meeting expeditioners and scientists at Wilkins Aerodrome.

The Governor-General and Lady Cosgrove flew the 7000 kilometre round trip from Hobart to Australia’s ice runway on the Royal Australian Air Force Globemaster Boeing C-17A which is supporting the Australian Antarctic Program.

The visit included an overview of an Antarctic field camp, a briefing on aviation and cargo operations, and discussions with scientists and expeditioners undertaking research and logistical support work on the continent.

His Excellency is the second Australian Governor-General to visit Australian Antarctic Territory.”

Below that quote, there is a link which says “Read more on the Governor-General’s web site.” It is now three years later, and the link has been removed.

Are there more prominent visitors to Antarctica?

Yes, there are…. And we shall find out in the next part who some more of them are.

ANTARCTICA - WHAT’S GOING ON?
PART SIX
UNPROVEN VISITORS: BIDEN AND OBAMA

Were there more prominent visitors to Antarctica?

Seems so. This was an interesting little snippet from Huffington Post:

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/obama-sends-biden-on-spec_b_159933
Obama Sends Biden on ‘Special Mission’ to Antarctica
01/22/2009 02:37 pm ET Updated May 25, 2011

“In the first major initiative of his presidency, President Barack Obama today dispatched Vice President Joe Biden on what he called “an important and special mission” to Antarctica.

The news of Mr. Biden’s unexpected trip appeared to take the Vice President by surprise, as he was in the middle of making a joke about Chief Justice John Roberts to members of the press corps when the president interrupted him with the news.

“Here’s how John Roberts sings the National Anthem,” Mr. Biden was saying. “‘Oh see can you say...’”
MR. OBAMA, YANKING AWAY MR. BIDEN’S MICROPHONE, then informed him of the extraordinary journey to the South Pole he was about to undertake.

The president was vague about what the mission to Antarctica would entail, but he did indicate that it could take “UP TO FOUR YEARS.”

While some witnesses to the scene said that Mr. Biden seemed surprised by the news, his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, offered another version of events during an appearance later in the day on “Oprah.”

“Joe was given a choice of places to go and he picked Antarctica,” she said. “President Obama said he could also go to the moon or Mars.”

Dr. Biden’s remarks were cut short when PRESIDENT OBAMA APPEARED ON THE SET AND UNPLUGGED HER MICROPHONE.

Remember, this was from liberal/Obama Admin friendly HuffPost. Not from people who are likely to have been trying to discredit the O Administration.

Perhaps it WAS a mission of 4 years…. But he couldn’t afford to have Biden run it for 4 years, so perhaps handed it over to John F’n Kerry (WSIVN)? - which could be why J F’n K (WSIVN) went there on election day? Just a thought. No doubt, there are other plausible scenarios.

I did a search to see if there were any PR reports about Biden’s visit, but I couldn’t find any. If he went, perhaps he really did go on a special mission, and it was secret. [Or maybe he went to Mars, after all.] He was given the mission to go to Antarctica very publicly, but there is no public record that I was able to uncover, which proves it. No pix of Biden playing with the penguins.

What I found interesting is that SEVERAL SOURCES STATE THAT OBAMA HIMSELF WENT TO ANTARCTICA. I CHECKED WIKIPEDIA, AND FOUND A LISTING OF PLACES HE VISITED, AND ANTARCTICA IS NOT ON THE LIST.

List of international presidential trips made by Barack Obama:

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

So while it does not list Antarctica - it does list Argentina in March of 2016. He had also at other times had visits in Australia and Brazil and Chili.

After I made that observation, I learned that others had also made that connection. Many of them are writers who deal in subjects, which, let us say, are not approved of by our JimRob! ....But nevertheless are intriguing.

The following debunking-of-Obama’s-purported-trip-to-Antarctica web site at least gives the bare bones facts surrounding the Obama Argentina trip, which is the most pointed to as being the most likely springboard for BHO’s supposed trip to Antarctica:

https://skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/35658/did-obama-secretly-visit-antarctica

“In March 2016, President Obama travelled to Argentina. The supposed Antarctic trip presumably is being claimed to have occurred on Thursday, March 24th, 2016, because that was when President Obama left Buenos Aires, Argentina to travel south.”

The press schedule published in advance describes the schedule:
(http://chicago.suntimes.com/columnists/obama-guidance-press-schedule-march-19-20-2016-off-to-cuba/ )

“On Thursday, the President will visit the Parque de la Memoria. In the afternoon, the First Family will depart Buenos Aires and travel to Bariloche, Argentina. The First Family will visit cultural landmarks while in Bariloche. In the evening, the First Family will depart Bariloche and return to Buenos Aires, Argentina. Later in the evening, the First Family will depart Argentina en route Washington, DC.”

“They were there. This trip was known about in advance and there are pictures of them arriving in Bariloche and meeting the Argentinian President on that day.”

“The conspiracy theory then relies on him somehow within that day vanishing from the public eye without notice so that he could take a flight to Antarctica. A flight that would have taken 8 hours each way. Not to mention the time it would have taken for him to hike to this mysterious gateway. That is implausible.”

Maybe it is, and maybe it isn’t. But at present, we are not able to prove Obama did go there. But there are certainly Questions.

Well are there any more visitors? Surely that is the end of the list?

Not so. We will continue in another part!

END PART SIX
