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.

Do they represent you?
Or, do they represent themselves (in some form)?
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.

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
ACK ACK I posted on the old thread! I’m going to put on the new thread.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I thought it was because Festival is so deserted we're getting echoes.
I actually do sing out loud a lot. I’ve reported here on occasion that I sing when I’m alone in my car.
I didn’t mention it, but the reason my discovery freaked me out a bit is that I’ve been asked/coerced into giving bridge lessons to a group of intermediate players at my bridge club. I have no experience doing this and have to create the lessons from scratch, which is a TON of work. Our membership has many retired teachers and several who are the same calibre of player as I am, and one who is beyond me, but none want to teach bridge. So I’ve been stressed about researching the material and developing good lesson material and THEN I discovered I have this weird thing with my voice.
I had my mini-meltdown, I found a solution, and now I just have to get down to business so I can do my part to help develop the newer players before they get frustrated and leave the game. I was kind of hoping I’d have more time to fix my quirk before having to speak in public again but it is what it is. I’ll be fine.
A guy gotta try.
lol! We understand and love and respect the heck out of you guys for your persistence and courage.
Reminder to pray at 3:15 Eastern.
So many things to pray for, but
especially our nation and FRens.
Let us examine our ways and
test them, and let us return
to the LORD.
Lam. 3:40
[”He describes an end scenario that goes far beyond shifting power between countries, warning of “the utter demolition of the United States… and then the eventual merger of all the nations… into a single global system.”]
As long as the military chain of command doesn’t fall to DemonRats or the DS this, is just not more than a single digit probability. Recent events haven’t just demonstrated we’ve “got a good large military and know how to use it”, they’ve demonstrated we have amazing powers and could beat the rest of the globe with one figurative arm tied behind our back. Civilians/retired/reserve units could cover unrest on the home front. Nothing moves on water on this planet if we don’t want it to, and we could weather economic collapse while much of the rest of the world would go stone age.
Perhaps these lists could be broken up into two or even three postings.
How about 1 every 15 mins.
That ok, LJ?

At 5:27 in the linked video, Kokinda stated that prior to October 7, Netanyahu's government funded Hamas. I asked Grok if there was proof of this statement. Here's Grok's response:
Evidence on the Statement: “Before October 7, Netanyahu's government actually funded Hamas through Qatar”
Yes, there is substantial evidence for this statement. Multiple credible Israeli and international news outlets, along with detailed reporting, confirm that under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s governments (particularly from 2018 onward), Israel explicitly approved, facilitated, and at times actively encouraged Qatar to transfer hundreds of millions of dollars to Hamas-controlled Gaza.
This was not direct Israeli taxpayer funding, but Netanyahu’s government enabled the flow of Qatari cash (often in suitcases carried through Israeli crossings) knowing it would sustain the Hamas government in Gaza.
Key Facts from Reporting
- The policy in action: Starting in 2018, Qatar began sending monthly payments (initially around $15–30 million) into Gaza for civil servant salaries, fuel for the power plant, and humanitarian aid. Israel’s security cabinet approved this, and the cash was delivered with Israeli coordination. Over roughly a decade, Qatar sent more than $1 billion total, with Israel’s blessing.
- Strategic rationale: Netanyahu’s governments saw the money as a way to keep Gaza calm (“quiet for quiet”), prevent a humanitarian collapse, and maintain the split between Hamas in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority in the West Bank — blocking any unified Palestinian push for statehood negotiations. Israeli officials, including Mossad directors, met with Qatari counterparts to ensure payments continued.
- Continued right up to October 7: In September 2023 (just weeks before the attack), Israeli officials reportedly asked Qatar to increase funding after Hamas threatened escalation. Mossad chief David Barnea, acting on government instructions, confirmed Israel wanted the money to keep flowing.
- Israeli admissions and criticism: Outlets like The Times of Israel and Haaretz have reported extensively on this. Even some of Netanyahu’s own former ministers and security officials criticized it as propping up Hamas. Post-October 7 investigations noted that Qatari funds helped Hamas build its military capabilities.
Netanyahu’s Position
Netanyahu has repeatedly called claims that he “strategically propped up” Hamas “ridiculous,” insisting the policy was only to avoid a humanitarian disaster in Gaza and was supported by Israel’s security establishment at the time. He has denied that the Qatari money directly financed the October 7 attacks.
In short, the video’s phrasing is a common shorthand used even in mainstream Israeli media for a well-documented policy of enabling Qatari financial support to the Hamas regime in Gaza. The evidence is extensive and not disputed on the core facts — only on the intent and ultimate consequences.
This is a clean HTML conversion of the previous response for easy viewing or sharing.
The claim that Hamas initially portrayed itself as a humanitarian conduit and that Netanyahu (or Israel) trusted them primarily refers to the early-to-mid 2010s through the launch of the major Qatari cash policy in 2018, with the core “misunderstanding” or strategic gamble most associated with the period 2012–2021 (especially intensifying in 2018 onward).
Hamas was founded in 1987 with a dual structure — social/welfare services (dawa) alongside its military wing. In its very early years, some Israeli officials tolerated its charitable networks as a counterweight to the secular PLO/Fatah. However, by the 1990s–2000s, Hamas was clearly designated a terrorist organization.
Qatar began sending modest funds to Gaza. Qatar positioned much of this as humanitarian aid (salaries, fuel, infrastructure). Israel was aware, but the amounts were limited. Some officials viewed Hamas’s governance role as potentially moderating its behavior or at least making it responsible for stability (“quiet for quiet”).
This is when the formalized Qatari payments ramped up significantly — monthly cash suitcases ($15–30 million initially, totaling over $1 billion by 2023), approved by Netanyahu’s security cabinet. Israel coordinated delivery through its crossings. The stated rationale was humanitarian: preventing economic collapse in Gaza, paying salaries, and avoiding unrest.
In short: The “humanitarian conduit” portrayal and any associated trust/miscalculation peaked with the 2018 policy approval and continued through the early 2020s. Netanyahu’s side has always stressed the humanitarian intent and necessity. Critics argue it was cynical realpolitik that downplayed Hamas’s true nature.
Note: The core facts of the Qatari funding policy (Israeli approval and coordination from 2018–2023) remain undisputed in mainstream reporting. The debate is almost entirely over intent, foresight, and consequences.
