Q ~ Trust Trump's Plan ~ 09/13/21 Vol.370, Q Day 1417
qalerts.net ^ | 9/13/2021 | FReeQs, FReepers, and vanity

Posted on 09/13/2021 8:08:52 PM PDT by ransomnote

Click to read the post which motivated me to create the image below..


Q is the result of the sacrifices and commitment of countless patriots to win back our captured country from the Deep State and achieve the transformation President Trump promised in this campaign video. President Trump has said the awakening of the public is key to this transformation.

Q describes this awakening as follows: 

"The Great Awakening ('Freedom of Thought’), was designed and created not only as a backchannel to the public (away from the longstanding 'mind’ control of the corrupt & heavily biased media) to endure future events through transparency and regeneration of individual thought (breaking the chains of ‘group-think’), but, more importantly, aid in the construction of a vehicle (a ‘ship’) that provides the scattered (‘free thinkers’) with a ‘starter’ new social-networking platform which allows for freedom of thought, expression, and patriotism or national pride (the feeling of love, devotion and sense of attachment to a homeland and alliance with other citizens who share the same sentiment).

When ‘non-dogmatic’ information becomes FREE & TRANSPARENT it becomes a threat to those who attempt to control the narrative and/or the stable. 

When you are awake, you stand on the outside of the stable (‘group-think’ collective), and have ‘free thought’. 

"Free thought" is a philosophical viewpoint which holds that positions regarding truth should be formed on the basis of logic, reason, and empiricism, rather than authority, tradition, revelation, or dogma. 

When you are awake, you are able to clearly see. 

The choice is yours, and yours alone. 

Trust and put faith in yourself. 

You are not alone and you are not in the minority. 

Difficult truths will soon see the light of day. 

WWG1WGA!!!" ~ Q (#3038)

The video, Qanon is 100% coming from the Trump Administration, is just one of many excellent responses to the all-important question, "Whom does Q serve?"

Q Boot Camp is a quick, condensed way to learn the background and basics about the Q movement. 

Q has reminded us repeatedly that together, we are strong. As the false "narrative" is destroyed and the divisive machinery put in place by the Deep State fails, the fact that patriotism has no skin color or political party is exposed for all to see. 

In the battle between those who strip us our constitutional rights, we can't afford to let false divisions separate us any longer. We, and our country, will be forever made stronger by diligently seeking the truth, independence and freedom of thought.

Where We Go 1, We Go All

Many many thankQs for this!

It absolutely shreds the company trying to implement the shot and mask mandates

Redacted for bad language

“From patriots.win:

My wife’s employer said they would answer any questions her staff had about the vaccine. Really? Ok! Answer this m*** f*****! Well, guess what? She presented her questions to leadership. They brought in a doctor. He rolled up the questions and NEVER answered one question. May they rot in hell. Seriously, the depths of hell. These questions were never answered and we got ZERO satisfaction. I’d love to believe the work I put in here helps someone. I’m sure some of these concerns have already become obsolete, so check them carefully and fill in your employer’s name. Good luck pede’s. I wish these questions helped me and my wife. We’re looking for jobs, by the way. God Speed!

When does _____________ anticipate that the FDA approved Comirnaty will be available in the United States? Is _____________ aware that Pfizer, Moderna and Jansen are still authorized under emergency use authorization (not FDA approval). Only Comimaty has FDA approval, but it is not currently available in the United States. The FDA found Comirnaty was a legally distinct product and not the same as the Pfizer vaccine. Does this mean these pharmaceutical companies still have immunity from liability for adverse reactions?

Is _____________ willing to wait until phase 3 testing is complete so its employees can have access to the necessary data and analysis to make an informed decision on these vaccines?

It was reported by NPR that both Pfizer and Moderna tainted their phase II studies by contacting the placebo groups and advising the participants that they had taken a placebo. In light of this revelation, does _____________ still trust any results published by these entities from their phase II studies?

The CDC, the FDA, and the White House recently announced that they would not be requiring the vaccines for its employees. In light of the fact that the CDC and its employees have intimate knowledge of any short-comings or adverse events associated with the vaccines, and in light of the fact that the CDC was recently sued in federal court in Alabama citing a whistleblower who stated that the CDC is hiding 45,000 or more deaths from the VAERS system, is _____________ willing wait to see if the allegations in the federal lawsuit can be substantiated?

Recent studies have shown that people who contracted Covid and acquired natural immunity are 1300% more protected than those who received vaccines. If employees subjected themselves to antibody tests and/or T-Cell tests and proved they had natural immunity, would _____________ waive any vaccine requirements? If not, why not?

Recent data also shows that adverse vaccine effects occur 2-4x more often in those with natural immunity. If _____________ has any studies to the contrary, please provide those to employees for review.

What is _____________’s response to concerns of employees who have had family members take vaccines and have suffered serious adverse effects?

On Wednesday, July 21, the CDC initiated a Phase I recall of the use of PCR testing. The PCR tests were found to be unreliable and reported a high number of false positives and failed to distinguish between Covid and the flu. Is _____________ currently using PCR tests? If so, what is the cycle threshold of the PCR test used by _____________ to determine if a patient or employee is Covid positive? When does _____________ plan to phase out PCR tests? What does _____________ intend to use as a replacement to PCR testing?

The Director of the CDC, Rochelle Walinsky, recently admitted in a CNN interview by Wolfe Blitzer that the vaccines do not prevent Covid 19 nor does it stop the vaccinated person from transmitting the infection. The only benefit touted at this time is a reduction in symptoms for the vaccinated person. If Ms. Walinsky and the CDC are correct, there can be no benefit to any party other than the vaccinated person. If this is the case, why would the hospital have any interest in the vaccine status of its employees?

Would _____________ be willing to assign doctors to staff who get vaccinated to ensure proper monitoring and testing for adverse events occurs after vaccination?

Would those doctors assigned to monitor _____________ employees who are vaccinated issue D-Dimer tests within 10 days of vaccination of its employees to check for blood clots? It is worth noting that Dr. Hoffe (in Canada) performed D-Dimer tests in his vaccinated patients and found over 60% of them had blood clotting issues.

OSHA recently revised its rulings to allow employees mandated to get vaccinated as part of their employment to sue their employers for any adverse reactions. In light of this ruling:

Does _____________’s employee health insurance plan provide complete coverage should an employee experience an adverse event, or even death?

Does _____________’s life insurance policy provide any coverage in the event that an employee dies from receiving an EUA Covid-19 injection?

Will _____________ be providing Workers’ Compensation, disability insurance, or other resources if an employee has an adverse event to an EUA Covid-19 injection and is unable to come to work for days, weeks, or months, or is disabled for life?

The pharmaceutical companies lobbied and contracted for complete immunity if a vaccine causes injury or death. The vaccines available to the public at this time are still under EUA (not FDA approval) and, accordingly, still provide immunity to the producers of these vaccines. Anyone injured by these vaccines has no monetary recourse. If an employee of _____________ suffers injury due to an adverse reaction due to a work-mandated vaccine, will _____________ waive its defense of assumption of risk in any litigation involving such injury? Or, will _____________ insist that its employees should have known the risks in getting a vaccine under emergency use authorization?

As _____________ is aware, Congress granted immunity to manufacturers of the vaccines currently under Emergency Use Authorization. In light of the fact that citizens injured by these vaccines have no legal recourse against the manufacturer, will _____________ agree to help employees who are injured by these vaccines in any way either through financial means or through free health care?

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) requires that EUA vaccine recipients be provided with certain vaccine-specific information to help them make an informed decision about vaccination. The EUA fact sheets that must be provided are specific to each authorized Covid-19 injection and are developed by the manufacturers of the injections (Pfzer/BioNTech, Moderna, Oxford/AstraZeneca, and the Johnson & Johnson subsidiary Janssen). The fact sheets must provide the most current and up-to-date information on the injections, and vaccine recipients must also receive information about adverse events. Does _____________ intend to provide its employees with these fact sheets and with current information on adverse events if you require vaccinations?

Is _____________ clinical leadership actively monitoring the available databases of material adverse events reported to date for people who have received Covid-19 vaccine injections (VAERS and others)? Potental and reported adverse events so far include death, anaphylaxis, neurological disorders, autoimmune disorders, other long-term chronic diseases, blindness and deafness, infertlity, fetal damage, blood clots, myocarditis, miscarriage, and stllbirth. What is the threshold in reported cases for each of the following before _____________ would stop advising its employees to take the vaccines?

Death ______ Anaphylaxis ______ Neurological Disorders ______ Miscarriages ______

The FDA’s guidance on emergency use authorization of medical products requires the FDA to “ensure that recipients are informed to the extent practicable given the applicable circumstances... [t]hat they have the option to accept or refuse the EUA product....” Will this option be available to employees of _____________?

The American with Disabilities Act provides three legally protected avenues to employees who seek to refuse vaccines. Those avenues include medical exemptions, religious exemptions, and conscientious objections. Will _____________ allow for these three exemptions if it chooses to require vaccines, and will _____________ provide a copy of your policy on these allowed exemptions?

With respect to the emergency use of an unapproved product, the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act, Title 21 U.S.C. 360bbb-3(e)(1)(A)(ii)(I-III) reiterates that individuals be informed of “the option to accept or refuse administration of the product, [and] of the consequences, if any, of refusing administration of the product, and of the alternatives to the product that are available and of their benefits and risks.” Please provide the written policy of _____________ that would explain its authority to mandate vaccines that are still under an EUA, in light of the above-referenced act.

Under the Nuremberg Code—the foundation of ethical medicine—no one may be coerced to participate in a medical experiment. The individual’s consent is absolutely essential. No court has ever upheld a federal mandate for an EUA vaccine. In Doe #1 v. Rumsfeld, 297 F. Supp. 2d 119 (2003), a federal court held that the U.S. military could not mandate EUA vaccines for soldiers: “...[T]he United States cannot demand that members of the armed forces also serve as guinea pigs for experimental drugs” (Id. at 135). If _____________ intends to deviate from the principles established in the Nuremberg Code and Rumsfeld, will it provide a copy of its policy that justifies this deviation?

Since the Covid lockdowns began over one year ago, there have been over 178 reported breaches of unsecured protected health information (PHI), incidents investigated by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR). These breaches exposed millions of people’s personal health information. Some of the breaches to PHI fell directly under the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), such as sharing a patent’s or person’s information with an unauthorized individual or incorrectly handling PHI. Can you please explain _____________’s obligations to its employees, under HIPAA law, and how you are going to protect their personal information? Has _____________ requested vacciantion status from the state reporting agency, and what if any, information have they provided _____________?

Article 3.2 (Human Dignity and Human Rights) of the United Nations Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights states: “The interest and welfare of the individual should have priority over the sole interest of science or society” see https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000146180

We have heard several statements (written and spoken) by our leadership implying that societal needs outweigh the rights of the individual. In light of these statements conflicting with Art 3.2 listed above, is _____________’s current position on bioethics consistent with Article 3.2 listed above? Can you provide a written policy to the employees of _____________ explaining any deviation from this bioethical principle?

Continuing with the United Nations Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights, Article 6.1 (Consent) of the declaration states: “Any preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic medical intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free and informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information. The consent should, where appropriate, be express and may be withdrawn by the person concerned at any time and for any reason without disadvantage or prejudice.”

Does _____________ plan to deviate from this bioethical standard, and if so, will it provide a policy statement explaining why?

In light of John Hopkins University’s recent disclosure of higher Covid cases among the most vaccinated countries in Europe, does the hospital still have confidence in the efficacy of the vaccines? And, in light of this study’s findings, why is the hospital only testing unvaccinated employees at this time?

Is _____________ aware experimental FDA approval is not the same as FDA approval?

Will _____________ require all persons who visit or practice in our office to be vaccinated?

How many Covid patients have died at _____________ (your local hospital) since the beginning of the pandemic?

Is _____________ considering requiring all persons who enter _____________ to be vaccinated (including visitors, family members, volunteers, sales reps, etc)?

_____________ has indicated that all unvaccinated employees should wear masks. Will _____________ please cite any medical or scientific studies it relies upon showing the efficacy of face masks in reducing the spread of Covid?

In light of the recent finding by the CDC that vaccinated people can acquire and spread Covid and should wear masks, will _____________ require that vaccinated employees wear masks also?

Studies show wearing masks for extended periods of time is unhealthy. Do you agree this could be harmful to employees?

Some argue the size of virus is entirely too small compared to a masks, and give an analogy of trying to stop a mosquito through a chain-linked fence. If the argument is Covid is transmitted via droplet (not airborne), then don’t we all just need to be courteous enough to cover our mouths when we cough and sneeze? Wouldn’t it be true that a mask is not needed 100% of the time?

If all viral variants are less deadly after each mutation, why is _____________ treating the Delta variant more stringently than the original strand?

Would _____________ recognize employees who take Ivermectin instead of an EUA vaccine? Studies have shown Ivermectin used as a prophylactic is 86% effective against Covid. Studies provided by Dr. Pierre Cory back this data up. Are any doctors at _____________ willing to prescribe and monitor employees who would be willing to take Ivermectin?

Dr. Byrum Bridle requested the vaccine distribution data from the Japanese government. The released data showed an accumulation of the nano-lipid particle in the ovaries of women and in the bone marrow of men and women. Is _____________ aware of this study, and does it have a plan to counter these potential adverse effects if its employees suffer these harms?

Israel recently disclosed its Covid numbers revealing that the vaccine’s effectiveness should be revised from 96% effective to 40% effective. That number was reduced again to 16% for those who were vaccinated in January. In light of this waning efficacy, will _____________ please identify the medical benefits of taking the vaccine for those who have had Covid before? Please provide any studies that show an increase in immunity provided by vaccines for those who have natural immunity.”

Well what a surprise. All it takes to see how a mail-in voter voted in the CA recall is to shine a weak cellphone flashlight through the back of the envelope.

She’s shining the light on the AZ McCainicrats & they are fighting for their lives (referring to Wendy Rogers) Yep. That's why I posted this ealry this am but I think it got missed. So I will spell it out more (let it speak for itself)

Rino bails out? NCSWIC

Statement from County Attorney Allister Adel

County Attorney Allister Adel (Maricopa)

"September 10, 2021 (Phoenix, AZ) – “After a very difficult year for me medically, professionally and personally, I have made the decision to seek treatment for anxiety and to address unhealthy coping behaviors including an eating disorder and alcohol use. This is a very difficult announcement because I, like many others, have tried to address these issues on my own."

"However, I know that if I am to be successful in my recovery, I must be honest and hold myself accountable. I have a challenging journey ahead to do better and be better for my friends, family, staff, this community and ultimately myself. I hope that you will find it in your hearts to give me the opportunity."

"None of us are born perfect and life comes with unexpected challenges. We all have obstacles we face in life and this is what makes us human. I admit that I am far from perfect. For most, this is a private journey but as an elected official I know I am held to a different standard. At this time, I ask for patience as I seek to better myself for my family, my friends and our community."

"I am in daily contact with my leadership team while seeking treatment to ensure the important business of the Maricopa County Attorney’s Office continues. I am committed to rising to meet this challenge and I thank you for allowing me the grace to do so.”

On the evening of September 1, a concerned citizen reported two suspicious males walking on a road near the international border between the United States and Canada. Border Patrol agents located the two males and determined both were citizens of Pakistan who had no legal status to be in or remain in the United States.

Aftab Akbar Hussain (41) had been previously removed from the United States in 2013 by an Immigration Judge. Furthermore, Hussain had been convicted for possession of a Class A controlled substance (Ecstasy) in California and sentenced to two years in jail. He has also been charged with reentry of a previously removed alien in violation of 8 USC 1326. Illegal reentry is a felony that carries the penalty of a fine and up to 2 years in prison. Hussain is currently being detained by the Department of Justice and criminally prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney’s Office, Northern District of New York.

The second male, age 33, had illegally entered the United States from Canada and was expelled back to Canada. The expulsion was in accordance with the current Title 42 Section 265 guidelines and in the interest of public health to prevent further introduction of COVID-19 into the United States.

NASA, Decrepit, Woke, and Desperate, Is 14 Years Late On Hubble Replacement. Why?

https://www.revolver.news/2021/09/james-webb-space-telescope-hubble-replacement-14-years-late/

Excerpt:

Remember the Hubble Space Telescope? It was a pretty big deal 30 years ago when it launched into low Earth orbit, where it remains today. Stuck with 20th century technology, cracking and in need of expensive repair, Hubble hangs out in the night sky as a sign of old American glory at the Cold War’s end.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST or Webb) was supposed to update Hubble for the twenty-first century. Webb, we are told, boasts 15 times the collection area of Hubble and will be able to capture infrared images in high resolution.

Pretty cool. And last week, NASA announced its new James Webb Space Telescope finally has a launch date:

NASA plans to launch the James Webb Space Telescope into orbit Dec. 18, 2021, to serve as the premier deep space observatory for the next decade…

...It all sounds very exciting until you realize what is left out of the press release.

One striking omission: even if Webb launches this year, it will be 14 years late and cost 20 times the original budget.

Here’s how that happened:

The JWST started development in 1996, with a 2007 launch date. Originally budgeted to cost $500 million, that price tag has ballooned to $10 billion. And there is still nothing to show for it. $10 billion and 25 years in development, we are still taking space pics with the Cold War-era Hubble, while the JWST remains a beached whale.

The project’s Wikipedia page lists at least 14 times NASA has promised a launch date for the JWST, only to kick it back farther...

If the disastrous war in Afghanistan were a telescope, it would be the James Webb telescope.

When Americans squander decades of time and billions of dollars only to get nothing in return, they can rest assured a defense contractor is lurking somewhere in the storyline.

Naturally, Northrop Grummon is the JWST’s prime contractor.

It’s the same story all over again at NASA. To this day, the most powerful rocket in US history remains the F-1 rocket. This was the rocket used to propel the Apollo moon missions. But today, American rocket engineers are incapable of reproducing the F-1. They remarkably lack the skills and know-how to match earlier achievements from generations ago.

In other words, antiquated technology is as elusive to us today as future technology. America’s reached its high water mark for a task as rote and mechanical as rocket power over 50 years ago.

It’s not for lack of throwing money at the problem. The Space Launch System (“SLS”) was supposed to be NASA’s solution to rocket impotence problem. NASA began development on SLS 10 years ago, and despite costs to taxpayers ballooning up to $20 billion and counting, it still has never even launched.

NASA’s SLS has done nothing but miss deadlines, fail tests, and burn through budgets for a decade. It’s a beached whale, just like the JWST.

And like with the JWST, military contractors have cleaned out the US Treasury’s piggy bank as they failed their way forward. For the SLS, the prime contractor is Boeing.

The highly complex space telescope is currently resting in its final stow configuration at Northrop Grumman’s facilities in Redondo Beach, California.

“Webb is an exemplary mission that signifies the epitome of perseverance,” said Gregory L. Robinson, Webb’s program director at NASA Headquarters in Washington. “I am inspired by our dedicated team and our global partnerships that have made this incredible endeavor possible. Together, we’ve overcome technical obstacles along the way as well as challenges during the coronavirus pandemic. I also am grateful for the steadfast support of Congress. Now that we have an observatory and a rocket ready for launch, I am looking forward to the big day and the amazing science to come.” [NASA]

Meanwhile, In China

For some reason, China doesn’t seem to be having any of these problems. In fact, they are absolutely cleaning America’s clock in outer space.

...To be sure, the US does retain considerable advantages over China when it comes to space technology. China isn’t really that close to matching the SpaceX/NASA heavy lift capability or compete on price performance of American and European low weight to orbit capability any time soon. The US currently has roughly 2500 satellites orbiting the Earth, whereas China has roughly 430 satellites. But that figure already puts China as the world’s #2 satellite power, and new launches are happening rapidly in the Middle Kingdom. China launched four new satellites last week alone.

Does anyone seriously believe the Globalist American Empire (GAE) will meet its ridiculous promise to put “the first woman” and “the first person of color” on the moon’s surface in 2024?

That’s a manned moon mission before the next presidential election — and we haven’t even gotten the test rocket to lift off the ground yet. The spacesuits alone, marred by gender identity politics, somehow now cost $1 billion each and the impossibility of easily conforming specs to women is now being floated as an official excuse to delay the mission entirely.

Again and again, that’s the story with modern NASA: An organization which used to have the sole objective of greatness has been sidetracked into chasing solely political objectives. A scientist with decades of experience working with NASA spoke bluntly with Revolver about the nature of the problem.

“NASA is clearly more focused on ‘diversity’ set asides than technological achievement — when I submit a NASA grant application I focus more on making sure my team looks diverse and I’ve got the right outreach buzzwords than on the science,” the scientist said.

...No, China systematically prioritizes National Greatness over Racial And Gender Grievance. The United States used to prioritize greatness as well, and in fact became the greatest space-faring nation ever to exist on account of its singular dedication to victory and excellence. But our priorities have now changed and our supremacy in the 21st century is increasingly uncertain, even doubtful, as a result.

Greatness VS. Grievance: Choose One

It is hard to overstate NASA’s emphasis on “diversity, inclusion and equity” over any actual achievements in recent history.
The head of NASA was told by the US President that his foremost task was to make foreign citizens, of racially and religiously preferred backgrounds, artificially “feel good” about their own STEM field contributions.

The 2016 NASA Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Implementation Plan made sure there was no escape from racial and gender diversity quotas and the dismantling of merit hiring and promotion standards, both internally and across NASA’s contractors.

In 2018, NASA’s “Strategic Plan” repeatedly framed hitting its diversity quotas and dismantling merit as critical to “addressing national challenges” and “optimizing capabilities.” No “strategic analysis,” however, appeared to be done on how artificial diversity at the cost of competence and cohesion was supposed to translate into unity and strength, rather than incompetence and division.

...Most recently, this summer, in June 2021, NASA launched “Mission Equity”:

NASA this week launched a new “equity” mission to recruit people from more diverse backgrounds — but it was quickly derided online as an unnecessary woke step toward “critical space theory.”

The space agency launched its “Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities in NASA Programs, Contracts and Grants” program on Tuesday, sharing a video of staffers of varying racial backgrounds delivering the new inclusive message.

“At NASA, we’re on a mission of equity, launching opportunity … to reach those we’ve never reached before … To shatter boundaries and break down barriers across America,” the staffers say.

The agency said it wants to reach those who are “Black, Latino, and Indigenous and Native American persons, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders and other persons of color” as well as “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ+) persons.” …

NASA is a 21st-century agency with 22nd-century goals. To be successful, it’s critical that NASA takes a comprehensive approach to address the challenges to equity we see today,” NASA Administrator Bill Nelson said in a statement. [NY Post]

“22nd-Century goals” is apparently a euphemism for NASA’s prime contractors in the defense sector that were recently humiliated by 12th century Taliban forces. They’re so far forwards, you see, that the unenlightened perceive them as moving backwards.

No self-reflection is allowed at NASA. There is only the permanent ugliness of failure and waste. See how many minutes you can make it into NASA’s 29:36 “Mission Equity: Making NASA Accessible to All”...

In 2014, Peter Thiel argued that, effectively, “technology stalled in 1970.” What Thiel suggested was that, if ones subtract information technology – which is designed to supplement hard technologies and infrastructure — there were very few “advancements” that were tangible and real:

According to Thiel, developments in computers and the Internet haven’t significantly improved our quality of life. In a new book, he warns entrepreneurs that conventional business wisdom is preventing them and society as a whole from making major advances in areas, such as energy or health, where technology could make the world a better place…

America’s elevation of Grievance over Greatness is yet another, and perhaps decisive, factor in the stagnation Thiel describes. The very fact that we cannot even conceive of another moon mission without reframing it as a women’s rights and minority rights objective is instructive. In the Globalist American Empire, every major undertaking must be recast in light of our underlying ideological obsession with racial and gender grievance. Even the dramatic failure in Afghanistan had to be cast in terms of a mission to promote women’s rights.

Is greatness possible under such conditions?

In the 1960s, America’s frenzied push for national excellence was so powerful, that it eagerly employed Wernher von Braun, a former SS member implicated in the use of slave labor by the Third Reich. In contrast, is there any doubt today that any NASA engineer, no matter how talented or important, would be completely ruined if a tape surfaced of them using the N-word five years ago?

What is the last Great Work the USA has even embarked on, let alone accomplished? Take a moment to ponder that question silently to yourself. The Hoover Dam? The Interstate Highway system? The Apollo moon landing?

...In other words, there’s an underlying sense that if we can’t accomplish some great feat in a “woke” fashion, it’s not worth accomplishing at all. And if we aren’t able to accomplish the feat in question (say, returning to the moon) it’s not such a big deal because it’s the wokeness, not the achievement that counts. If China beats us back to the moon, we possess the moral victory because we intended to put a black woman in a wheelchair on the moon, whereas China put an ordinary Chinese person on the moon. If we are routed and humiliated in Afghanistan after 20 years and trillions of dollars spent, it is unfortunate, but we still have the high ground because we care about women’s rights there.

The Globalist American Empire’s woke obsession therefore not only propels us to failure, it serves as a palliative helping to condition us to failure as the new normal. The more America humiliates itself on the global stage, the more desperately its regime and its institutions will cling to “wokeness” as the consolation prize for a failing and diminishing empire.

The truth is quite simple. The 21st Century does not belong to nations that care about “racism” and “sexism.” A nation such as ours that would care far more about a General using the N-word than losing a war is not a serious one...

The FBI wore wires hoping to bring down President Trump as well...nothing happpened to them either, in terms of illegal taps or tapes or any such recorded or secretly written.

Only conservatives go to trial and jail.

"What a warm welcome I got coming home to Arizona at the Trumped Store! So wonderful to be home. Make sure to buy Trump shirts from them, they have some of the best designs & are hard core Trump people."

The text of her tweet seems to underscore the message, "hard core Trump people don't support Pence."

All it takes to see how a mail-in voter voted in the CA recall is to shine a weak cellphone flashlight through the back of the envelope.

A comic genius. He was light years ahead of other comedians. “I’m Not Norm” on YT reveals how he was right about everything decades before anyone else...much like George Carlin.
