Work is in progress on Bagster's new watch, standing guard over those who have gone before us. I hope to post the new content next thread.

Have you seen President Trump's powerful 4 minute video message? Don't miss it!
A NATION IN DECLINEQ 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.

Those who attack you.
Those who mock you.
Those who cull you.
Those who control you.
Those who label you.
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
Urge all of your men to pray,
not alone in church, but everywhere.
Pray when driving. Pray when fighting.
Pray alone. Pray with others. Pray by night and pray by day.
.Pray for the defeat of our wicked enemy
whose banner is injustice and whose good is oppression.
Pray for victory.
Pray for our Army, and Pray for Peace.
We must march together, all out for God.
George S. Patton
Easy, maybe you need to start your own Butt Hurt thread. You can ping Jim and the mods, anyone who cares. No need to ping me, or ransom though. Were tired of it.
Didn’t see a Butt Hurt Report Form filed from this poster.
Who had it last MileHi?
God Bless All

AMEN!!!
Night lj.
Yes. Probably in the closet somewhere, well, maybe.
Still have my triangles and curves and some compasses, and some of my Fathers too. (And Grandfathers along with his pocket watch.) Went into the Service and the the T-square and and slide rules disappeared by the time I came back.
I think you get those at the front desk at HR.
If you want on or off the ping list send me a FReepMail.
All of the major economic indicators for the PRC are negative or significantly under expectations. Morgan Stanley has cut the PRC's GDP growth in half from Jan of this year. It is forecasting a 25% contraction in the PRC Real Estate sector.
Local governments are running out of money and have gone crazy with petty fines for everything. Some examples are drinking water on a subway (it's fine to drink on the platform and then reenter the train), car booted for a minor amount of mud on the front tire, etc.
The quest for fine revenue is merging with official corruption to form an official protection racket. Chengwu county in Shandong province (Shanghai) has instituted a "monthly ticket" system for trucking companies. In return for paying an up front ticket amount, county officials will ensure that NONE of the company's trucks are ticketed again for the rest of the month even if they have REAL overloading, speeding, or other safety issues. This runs $140 to $200 US per month depending on the truck type. All the driver needs to do is show the monthly ticket associated with the truck and he can go on his way. (That's a nice trucking business you got there. It would be a shame if you got ticketed out of existence. -- LP)
The two most ridiculous fines (and there were many) I found were: A potato seller was fined $42,000 US for selling potatoes for 2 Yuan per pound (~$0.006 US) when he had only paid 1 Yuan per pound for them. It was considered price gouging. A man man was fined $28.00 US for picking his nose while driving and it was caught on camera. All of this is having the predictable effect of increasing discontent with the government, aka the CCP.
Youth unemployment is officially at ~21.5% even though the actual numbers are no longer being reported. Unofficially, it is probably closer to ~46%. It is estimated that unemployment for this year's college graduates is approaching 80%.
Young Chinese have dreams of hitting it big as an Internet Live-streamer selling, whatever, on one of the Chinese online shopping channels. Cities have entire streets set aside for live-streamers to set up at. I saw one side of Nanzhou bridge in Guilin (near Hong Kong) at night with live-streamers set up about every 8 feet. The line ran out of sight. I saw one estimate that only the top 10% or so even breakeven.
In their drive to deflect attention from the state of the PRC by highlighting the release of water from the Fukushima reactor, the CCP has shot their own seafood market in the foot. Fishermen are having trouble selling their catch for enough to cover expenses. I saw pictures of major wholesale seafood markets effectively EMPTY. And it is all based on a lie.
The PRC has several dozen nuclear reactors along the coast. Any ONE of which puts six to ten times more radioactive Tritium into the ocean annually than all reactors in Japan COMBINED.
The PRC has been, arguably, the most polluted country on Earth. The Chinese people have become inured to living with the poison in the soil, air, water, and food around them. Roughly 80% of groundwater in the PRC is unsafe for drinking, even if treated.
Zymurgy's First Law of Evolving System Dynamics applies here: "Once you open up a can of worms, the only way to get it back in is to use a bigger can." The CCP is running out of cans.
I would like to close with a quote: “...and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.” ― John Steinbeck, The Grapes of Wrath
Steinbeck wrote it for the US Great Depression but I think it could just as easily apply to the PRC today. The CCP best hope it never uncorks that bottle.

Thanks for posting, good night L.J.!
~ Apologies to the thread (and Ransomnote) for the spectacle.
The old dance between her and I is not one others should join me in.
There are more important dances in play, this little one was SUPPOSED to be
targeted at Stealth keyword harassment, hg posse illumination, dissection boxes and pile ons. Not Ransomnote herself.~
MQD, remember those pms from you with the Chase posts that you rubbed my nose in so hard?
It seems that’s when I stopped being considered one of your dragons any more.
Major change of atmosphere took place back then.
Been getting boxed ever since. Especially when mentioning humblegunner.
Please anon on.
I will.
ALL; Ransomnote is still an anon, and as far as I’m concerned, always was.
Our missions were simply cleverly maneuvered into a terrible collision,
in my view. (and she’s always under a lot of stress that this doesn’t help with,
I suspect.)
I don’t happen to think my posts are going to get us all kicked off of FR.
Me maybe, but not all of you.
Turns out these actually aren’t the only threads that polite mention of Q is
permitted. I did not know that. I’m always learning new things on Free Republic.
This cage is only to keep the battles out of the rest of the forum.
