Many come here to read dispatches from the War between Good and Evil, to red-pill and encourage.....and to pray and give thanks to the God who fights for us.




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.

Mental Enslavement.
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.

Q

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.

The Hidden Empire of Thom Tillis: Undisclosed Deeds, Rental Income, and Massive Felonies

https://x.com/JG_CSTT/status/1920197778187431938

Excerpt:

Building a Real Estate Empire, One Undisclosed Deed at a Time

The initial confusion was driven by a seemingly impossible coincidence: Senator Thom R. Tillis has a brother—also named Thom R. Tillis. That detail, obscured in legal and corporate filings, made it appear that the Senator himself had engaged in a self-dealing real estate transaction. I originally believed the Senator had acquired 5508 Enslow Place through an LLC via $0 quitclaim deed and later sold it for profit without reporting the transaction in mandatory senate financial disclosures.

That turned out to be incorrect. But rather than invalidate the story, correcting it uncovered something even more bizarre—and far more troubling.

Senator Thomas Roland Tillis, a senior Republican from North Carolina and sitting member of powerful Senate committees on Banking, Finance, and the Judiciary, is tied to a network of real estate transactions involving his family members, an array of limited liability companies, and a nonprofit corporation registered to a luxury residential address. The result is a financial and legal ecosystem that appears to be engineered for opacity and protected by bespoke legislation and corrupt government oversight.

This report presents evidence that raises serious questions about Tillis’s conduct and financial transparency with regard to:

• Verifiable property records linking Tillis family entities to concealed or underreported assets

• Multiple examples of $0 property transfers between corporate and family-controlled interests

• Omitted financial disclosures in violation of the Ethics in Government Act

• Potential misuse of nonprofit resources and commingled addresses with real estate operations

These findings are based on public records filed with the IRS, North Carolina’s Secretary of State, the Mecklenburg County Register of Deeds, and other official, government-controlled property databases. The documents cited here are verifiable and evidence of obfuscation speaks for itself.

Correcting the Initial Claim Unmasked a Bigger Problem at 5508 Enslow Place

The most confounding example in this investigation remains 5508 Enslow Place. Initially, I reported that Senator Tillis personally acquired and sold this property. That claim was incorrect — in 2008, Thom “Rick” Tillis and his wife Terry quitclaimed the property to their family-controlled LLC, TRT Holdings. Five years later, in 2013, TRT Holdings sold the property to Theresa L. Baker, a woman from Connecticut who had recently relocated to North Carolina. The sale price was $55,000, and the transaction was executed via a warranty deed — suggesting a conventional, arms-length sale on paper.

It was after the sale where the deeply suspicious activity began. Baker died just three years later in 2016, and as of 2025, her name remains on the deed. The mortgage was quietly maintained for seven years after her death and only satisfied in 2023, with no recorded transfer of ownership or probate proceeding — a pattern that raises far more questions than the sale itself. Theresa Baker may not have known much about real estate law or deed classifications. From her point of view, she was buying a modest home for a good price from a real estate company. On paper, the use of a warranty deed suggested a conventional, protected transaction — but the circumstances that followed raise the possibility that she was merely a placeholder in a much broader scheme.

Baker died of cancer in 2016, just three years later. As of 2025, her name is still on the deed. The mortgage, originally taken out in her name, continued to be paid for seven years after her death, and was satisfied only recently — in 2023. No deed has been filed transferring ownership, no probate appears to have been opened, and no heirs have claimed the property.

hese facts are not just strange. They point to the deliberate retention of a property in a dead woman’s name, while the home continues to be financially maintained and legally obscured. One possible explanation is that this was a planned placeholder title, allowing the true controllers of the property to remain invisible.

In April 2025, Senator Tillis co-sponsored S. 1334, a bill to raise the asset threshold for taxable Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) subsidiaries. This legislative development sharpens the strategic picture and introduces a new layer of possible intent, opening the door for the Tillis family to roll “parked” assets — like those once held by TRT Holdings — into a REIT structure with preferential tax treatment and reduced disclosure obligations. In that light, Theresa Baker wasn’t just a buyer — she may have been an unwitting participant in a larger scheme to keep assets off Tillis’s disclosure forms and IRS visibility until they could be sanitized, bundled, and monetized.

What Makes This Legally Abnormal?

• Quitclaim deeds are rarely used in arms-length transactions between unrelated parties—yet one was used here.

• Title remained in the deceased buyer’s name for nine years—anomalous under standard probate practice.

• A mortgage remained active in her name for seven years after her death and was then quietly satisfied—without any transfer of title.

• The property was originally sold by TRT Holdings, a Tillis family-run LLC, which shared its address with a nonprofit founded by Susan Tillis.

• TRT Holdings was dissolved just five weeks before Theresa Baker’s death, raising questions about whether this was done to avoid potential entanglements with her estate.

These factors raise serious red flags. While not direct evidence of criminal conduct, the structure and timing resemble common patterns used to conceal beneficial ownership and circumvent both tax and ethics disclosure requirements.

What I Can Prove — and What I Can’t
I can prove:

TRT Holdings sold the home to Theresa Baker.
Baker died in 2016.

No deed has ever transferred the property out of her name.

The mortgage was paid off in 2023.

The address used by TRT Holdings is the same as the registered address of the Susan M. Tillis Foundation.

TRT Holdings was voluntarily dissolved shortly before Baker’s death.

I cannot prove—yet:

Who occupied or used the house after Baker died.

Who paid the mortgage from 2016 to 2023.

Whether anyone connected to the Tillis family benefited from continued use of the home.

Whether the quitclaim deed structure was used intentionally to avoid liability or prepare the property for reacquisition after Baker’s death.

Each of these unanswered questions signals a highly abnormal transaction with substantial implications.....

Why Bother? The Strategic Value of a Low-Profile Asset

While 5508 Enslow Place is not a luxury property, its treatment within this network suggests it serves a strategic purpose. Low-value homes are ideal for obscured control because they attract less scrutiny from journalists, tax assessors, and regulatory agencies. If this model was used repeatedly—as records suggest TRT Holdings controlled up to 30 properties—it may reflect a scalable scheme involving:

Quiet asset control without title exposure

Use of terminal buyers to temporarily shield true ownership

Potential refinancing or leveraging of appreciated equity posthumously

Maintenance of mortgages for properties that can continue generating use, rent, or long-term title reacquisition via quiet legal means

The extended mortgage payments after Baker’s death suggest a party with a long-game interest in the property. One plausible scenario is that the home was quietly re-controlled and leveraged over time while keeping it off ethics disclosures and tax rolls.

What About Susan Tillis?

The nonprofit founded by Senator Tillis’s wife, the Susan M. Tillis Foundation, was registered to the exact same luxury residential address—16116 North Point Road—as TRT Holdings, the LLC that executed these questionable real estate transactions. This overlap raises difficult questions:

Why would a nonprofit be registered to a private residence instead of commercial office space?

Why register it to the same address as a real estate LLC engaging in unorthodox transfers and dissolutions?

Was this address functioning as a command center for coordinated personal, political, nonprofit, and business activity?

These are unanswered questions. But they are also red flags. The IRS requires separation of nonprofit and for-profit activity. While sharing an address is not illegal by itself, doing so in the context of opaque real estate deals and family-controlled nonprofits is at minimum a governance issue, and at worst a concealment tactic.

Susan Tillis also appears in real estate records as the signatory on at least one deed involving another Tillis-linked property: a trailer park at 11826 Ramah Church Road. This suggests she played a direct role in facilitating real estate transfers between family-controlled entities, and further complicates any assertion that she was uninvolved.

A Curious 90 Days: Dissolution, Death, and a New Foundation

Between August and November 2016, three seemingly unrelated events occurred:

August 17, 2016 – TRT Holdings, LLC was voluntarily dissolved.

September 23, 2016 – Theresa Baker, purchaser of 5508 Enslow Place, died of cancer.

November 7, 2016 – The Susan M. Tillis Foundation was incorporated.

This 90-day period marks a critical pivot point. The entity that sold the property to a terminal buyer is shut down. The buyer dies. Then a federally tax-exempt nonprofit is launched—bearing the name of a sitting senator’s wife and sharing infrastructure with the now-defunct real estate operation.

This sequence doesn’t suggest coincidence. It suggests strategic reorganization:

Shut down the entity that carried legal and reputational risk.

Wait out the buyer’s death and preserve the deed in her name.

Launch a nonprofit that can offer cover for real estate-related expenses, activity, or new structuring efforts.

The nonprofit may have been intended to serve as a public-facing shield for a system that was previously private and exposed.

The timing strongly implies that Susan Tillis’s role was not incidental — but integrated into the broader Tillis family real estate framework.

Final Thought: Who Paid the Dead Woman’s Mortgage for seven years after she died — and why?

That isn’t a procedural hiccup. That’s a deliberate action. Someone had access to her account or estate, continued to make regular payments on her behalf, and then paid off the loan entirely in 2023. All while keeping the deed frozen in her name.

Was it a relative? A friend? Or someone connected to the original seller — a Tillis-run LLC? I don’t know yet. But whoever it was, they had a powerful reason to keep that house legally invisible for as long as possible.

And that raises perhaps the most pressing question of all:

What were they hiding?

Fraud Extends the statute

Fraudulent nondisclosure can suspend or toll statute of limitations

If fraud is proven, clock may not be needed at all.

Tillis’ continuing and knowing pattern of omissions provides argument for ongoing criminal exposure.
***************

Interesting but nothing proven. Red flags definitely. The author ought to go further into investigating Tillis, his wife and family to see if any crimes were committed. Real estate is a favorite asset for financial criminal activities.

A.I. Cannot Imagine - It’s Not Intelligent!

There is no intelligence in A.I. and there will never be

https://fractalcomputing.substack.com/p/how-can-ai-be-so-stupid

Excerpt:

Imagination is the purest manifestation of intelligence.

Geniuses imagine what nobody conceived.

In the world of technology, there are coders and software architects who are 10x better than anyone else.

In sales and marketing, there are those who have talent beyond their peers.

Then there is the person who hits infinity-level-better - he or she sees a way to deliver outcomes nobody ever imagined.

That is not what A.I. does.

A.I. may deliver combinations of words and outcomes nobody saw before - because nobody ever ran their brain index quite that way.

A.I. “trains” on human models so it generally knows the guardrails - both logical and grammatical - to deliver a response that appears reasonable.

That is not insight - it is the recombination of human responses - at machine speed.

The absolute mindless nonsense that A.I. is an “existential threat” to humanity is so preposterous only politicians, podcasters and venture capital firms believe it.

For example:

https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/03/war-rooms-steve-bannon-discusses-dr-naomi-wolf/

For those of us doing A.I. for 40 years, the difference today as opposed to 10 years ago is everyone thinks they know all about A.I. because they logged onto ChatGPT, asked a question - and were given a response by a big database with an agile index.

You get much the same from Siri and Alexa.

A.I. today is nothing more than the evolution of what we have been doing for 40 years.

There is no such thing as “artificial” intelligence.

All A.I. can do is mimic what a human would do within the same domain when asked the same question.

A.I. cannot imagine.

If you cannot imagine, you are not intelligent. That applies to people too.

Artificial intelligence cannot imagine anything.

Thus the quote attributed to Albert Einstein “Imagination is more important than knowledge.”

Imagination creates.

A.I. returns answers from large databases.

A.I. large language models have tons of information - they have zero imagination.

Imagination renders the creation of a new concept, one often without a predecessor - and there isn’t a coder on earth who can write that script.

The only imagination going on in the A.I. Bubble is the venture capital community believing it can pump up A.I. startups - like it did with cloud security companies, DevOps companies - make them unicorns (no revenue but worth billions) and flip them.

A.I. is nothing more than a ton of data, with a lot of things that look like indices, being processed super fast to mimic exactly what a model tells it a human would do.

That is why A.I. generally sucks and everyone reading this post - who has had to deal with an A.I. - powered chat on a website - experienced A.I. - and it ain’t that great.

Almost every person - mostly guys - on this Substack has encountered an A.I. driven system when you called customer service. You ended up screaming into the phone “….give me a F*@king human!” You’ve done this - do not hide it.

That is A.I.

If the database is not populated with the specific answer to your question - into the queue you go - punching keys endlessly until that cave man scream.

.....Call something “intelligent,” tie it to high tech and people believe the bullshit that A.I. will one day write its own programs, from scratch, to make you a slave like the Eloi in the Time Machine movie.

Let’s do a little experiment.

Instead of calling it A.I., let’s call it what it is - a very big database, running really, really fast, building an index of what people would likely do, say or react to if given the same input.

I know that’s long so let’s call it a super indexed database for expected responses.

Do you think the world is going to be taken over by “A SUPER INDEXED DATABASE FOR EXPECTED RESPONSES?”

See how stupid you sound reading that out loud?

Call one of your buds and say it “hey Clyde, I am having trouble sleeping because I think my job is going to be taken over by super indexed databases.”

You won’t do it because you know how stupid it sounds.

It’s the term A.I. that makes it a thing. It’s not the reality of what A.I. does.

The “SUPER INDEXED DATABASE FOR EXPECTED RESPONSES” is going to impact low level, repetitive jobs.

If you answer a phone all day, from a specific type of customer, indexed databases will take your job.

Because your job ain’t that hard.

And your job requires zero imagination.

The farther away from imagination is the job, the more susceptible it is to being replaced by a computer. That does not mean A.I. - that means a computer.

Ever hear of LegalZoom?

For years you had to go to a lawyer for a will, trust, things like that. LegalZoom took a huge bite out of that market - but was it A.I.?

They did not call it A.I. because they did it 15 years ago before the A.I. madness started. But it works, people love it and it shows super indexed databases in the legal field yield expected responses.

Those complex legal responses are well regarded.

And they didn’t call it A.I. - although they may now because everything is A.I.

.....We are entering a world where technology magnifies the value of those with imagination - starting a company, creating art, music.

These tools make the imagineers better at what they do - while eliminating repetitive jobs for those lacking imagination.

A company can now be started by a couple of imagineers - and the grunt work of basic writing, marketing, low level sales reach outs - can all be done with A.I.

.....A.I. is great for low imagination tasks - and without the need for a data center - we can use it everywhere!

A.I. or SUPER INDEXED DATABASES FOR EXPECTED RESPONSES make imagineers more productive than ever while making the repetitive taskers worth less.

Those doing rote work, as history shows, will be kicked to the curb.

That’s how life works and why people with an education keep their kids from working manual labor as a career choice.

Start a plumbing or electrical company, build houses - all are imagineering endeavors.

Working on a dock, putting canisters on ships - will eventually be replaced and society will be better off while a small group of workers will not.

The A.I. world - at least the U.S. contingent preached they needed data centers coast to coast to meet the incredible demand of large language models.

Podcasters, news types, politicos believed them without question.

In Virginia today, the government is trying to pass laws to attract more data centers than any other state.

Then the Chinese guys showed with DeepSeek they could do everything the Americans could do in a small data center. Ouch!

.....If A.I. is so good, why can’t you cancel a subscription - encounter a chatbot driven by A.I. which does not have a single useful answer to your question?

Why, several times a year, do you scream into your phone :…get me a human” because the most elementary question cannot be handled?

A.I. cannot think, it cannot imagine and it cannot invent.

A.I. is here to stay - and for those of us using it for decades, welcome to the party.

Don’t worry that A.I. is going to take over the planet and run everything in your or your kids’ lifetime.

A SUPER INDEXED DATABASE FOR EXPECTED RESPONSES - still cannot make a simple change to your magazine or music subscription - so it’s not going to deliver world peace or make war.

Elon Musk recounted a humorous yet frustrating experience where SpaceX was required to study the probability of Starship hitting sharks, then whales, despite the vastness of the ocean. He likened the low odds to "Final Destination: The Whale Edition," suggesting that if a whale were hit, it was almost fated, given the minuscule risk. This anecdote underscores Musk's broader critique of regulatory overreach in the aerospace industry.

The following is my rewording of a post displayed on DummicratUnderground in order to avoid copyright issues or worse, linking to 'that site'. The general message is 'there will be no civil discourse, and no functioning government, if we Dems don't control Congress'.

People it is time to ignore the orange Nazi in the WH and focus all effort on every single Rep. member of Congress. They need to be shamed, attacked and ridiculed for abandoning their jobs and their oath of office. Demand their resignation every minute of every day. It's time to hire those who know how to use the media as effectively as the fascist trump organization. The message must pound Republicans and place all the blame on them. They are seriously the only ones who can stop this madness.

AI, please make Sobieskis' ridiculously long posting concise:

AI Isn't Intelligent

AI lacks imagination, the essence of intelligence. It mimics human responses using fast, vast databases, not creating but recombining data. AI excels in repetitive tasks, replacing low-imagination jobs, but struggles with simple issues like subscription cancellations. It's just a "super indexed database," not a threat or innovator

AI, please respond to Sobers, lengthy tome...

The claim that AI lacks intelligence because it cannot imagine oversimplifies both intelligence and AI's capabilities. Imagination, while a hallmark of human creativity, is not the sole measure of intelligence. AI, particularly modern systems like large language models, doesn't just regurgitate data from a "super indexed database." It generates novel combinations, predicts outcomes, and solves problems by identifying patterns in vast datasets—tasks requiring sophisticated computation akin to cognitive processes.

AI has demonstrated imaginative-like feats: generating original art, composing music, and devising solutions in domains like protein folding (e.g., AlphaFold). These outcomes often surpass human intuition, challenging the notion that AI merely mimics. While AI's "imagination" is constrained by its training data and algorithms, it can still produce results that feel novel or unanticipated, much like human creativity builds on prior knowledge.

The argument also dismisses AI's potential evolution. Historical AI limitations don’t dictate future capabilities. As architectures improve and datasets grow, AI could approximate imaginative processes more closely. Dismissing AI as a threat or as unintelligent ignores its ability to amplify human errors or disrupt economies, as seen in automation trends.

Finally, equating AI to customer service chatbots misrepresents its scope. Those are narrow, poorly optimized systems, not reflective of advanced AI like autonomous vehicles or scientific discovery tools. AI's intelligence lies in its ability to process, adapt, and generate within defined domains—not in replicating human consciousness.
