so sick, like losing a bit of weight sick. terrible muscle aches. popped a couple of ivermectin til i can smell it oozing out of me, bouncing back already.
Now, if the illegals see that Trump is back in power, will they rush back to Mexico?
No, when they see the financial collapse they will rush back to their home countries (and it has been happening to some extent already)
Why are feminist so mean to women that can do real life things?
And anti-racists are so mean to black people who get things done.
Its just the way they are.
Videos are starting to appear on TikTok that people who got the cheap burgers on cheeseburger day are all getting sick. This works be at McD, BK, and Wendy’s. Not good …
I'm a few days behind and reading your post about people getting sick from fast food burgers. I used to love a whopper and refuse to eat at BK since they started selling fake meat. I rarely eat fast food because it's crap. Even chick fil la has gone downhill. They don't mess up your order but the chicken isn't the same. We ate there last month and it was so salty. I'll eat Hardee's ham biscuits and that's it for fast food. If we eat out it's mom & pop places that's been around thirty years or more. Plus fast food ain't cheap like it used to be. I can cook a meal cheaper.
I haven’t seen anything else about people getting sick. I don’t eat fast food either. We have a convenience store chain called Sheetz. The food is insanely good. French Fries are much better that McD. Cooking meals is much cheaper. I totally agree.
I hadn't heard any of that yet. Interesting. Specific states, regions or nationwide?
Not a specific area that l noticed. I’m sure more will be coming out. I’ll see what l can find later today.
In other news Erica Adams mayor of new shitistan (york) became a master mason today along with the commissioner. Look at em with their butcher’s aprons on how sweet. https://gothamist.com/news/mayor-adams-nypd-commissioner-caban-became-freemasons-over-the-weekend
The fact that this is publicised like this is kust kekworthy!

Feeling a bit anxious about next week (username checks out).
I have to fly down to N Carolina for work but the 10-4 Emergency Broadcast Alert "test" is happening Wednesday and my family will be on their own if SHTF.
I'm thinking of taking $1,000 in cash just in case I need to get a rental car and drive home. Who knows if this will effect anything like phones, airlines, credit cards etc. Hopefully it's just a test, but at the same time I REALLY want stuff to kick off and start habbening.
Any tips for how else I can prepare my family? We are pretty stocked with non-perishables, water and gas for the generator. 🤞
Maybe ask everyone to turn off their phones tv ipad that day?
Open laptop and send emails to you to keep in touch just for the day. Lock the doors, close windows, and lots of prayers
My spouse works about an hour's drive from our house, so in the event SHTF while he's away, we have talked about this, it sounds like you have the necessities in places, such as food, water, power. Make sure they are comfortable defending the home, I doubt it will come to that, but it's a good resource to have, as well as just knowing neighbors who will be willing to lend a hand if need be. I have great neighbors, and we are all awake on some level, varying levels, but awake enough to know how to help one another out in these uncertain times. Do you have close friends, family, or good neighbors who can help out until you return home if needed?
Thanks Fren.
The neighbor angle might be a possibility. I don't think any of them are awake like your community (this is deep blue New England) and most are elderly so they may be also needing help.
As for the family, they all got their shots and think we are dumb for not being lemmings. But in a time of need, they might pull through as my kids are the youngest in the family.
I am sorry the neighbors and family aren't much help, but it sounds like you and your immediate family will be the ones to comfort and guide those in your family and neighborhood when everything breaks out onto the surface. I have several family members who took the shot, but now regret taking them. They are teetering on the verge of being awake, but they are just barely waking up. There is still so much going on that they seem to be clueless about, and I keep telling them to get stocked up and get ready for what's coming. They are finally starting to realize, it's better to be prepared and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Wow, you've made great progress on your battlefront. God bless and thanks for the tips!
I've got a long way to go in this region. 🤞
I bet you have made a bigger impact than you realize. For a while, I felt like the black sheep of the family, and still do to a point, but at least I am seeing signs of life in them now. Perhaps I had nothing to do with it, as it could have been a neighbor or a coworker that gave them that little nudge down the rabbit hole that I couldn't get them to budge, but now suddenly, whatever it was that stirred their curiosity, has caused them not to keep quite such a distance anymore. Your loved ones will come around, perhaps just in the nick of time, or perhaps they will have to adjust to the rude awakening instead of the gradual awakening. Hang in there, it will happen.
Utubes has been deleting my shit posts...in the past they put me on time out w a warning...now they just dissapeare
Desperation levels increasing... Badge of honor, fren!
A couple of months ago I posted about seeing panhandlers honing their skills and working in concert with each other to collect more money. The question was asked if they were from the local area, and I said I wasn't sure, and that it was hard to know.
Turns out these same people are being seen in counties 30 miles away, so it looks like they rotate to different areas, and are clearly not from the local county. Given that, is there anything that can be done about it? The police do nothing about it and give tacit permission to let them do this.
There is a network here in New England. We see the same few people being pickup up and dropped off. They are usually older frail looking people that appear autistic since they are usually swaying back & forth and don't make eye contact.
These aren't the usuay tweakers we see in the bigger cities. Absolutely disgusting what these people do to these poor souls.
I remember seeing a segment on 60 mins i believe back in the 80's or 90's ,it was about panhandling in NYC ,and the man said he made $30,000 a year standing in traffic,i'm guilty of giving out money years ago ,i no longer do it ,here in our county there everywhere including way out of the city on off ramps and busy intersections ,give if you are so inclined or even tell them you have yard work and see what happens., or just dont make eye contact and move on ,as fall approaches you will be able to see their tents in the woods close to their work places/feeding holes
Yesterday there were reports that during Trump's speech, he said he'd be back in the WH in 5 months and gas would be cheap again in 6 months. Does anybody have that clip? Please post it if you do. Thanks!
https://greatawakening.win/p/17r9foHqTc/trump--we-will-take-back-the-whi/c/
Thanks, but that's a 4 hour video. Do you know the timestamp?
Having trouble finding the timestamp but here he is making the statement https://rumble.com/v3kr72p-trump-less-than-5-months-were-going-to-defeat-joe-biden-and-take-back-our-c.html
Thank you!
Yesterday I posted a thread on /pol/ regarding Russell Brand's refusal to be silenced, linking his latest video on censorship and the medias war on free speech. Today I find /pol/ has banned me for that thread because it wasn't about politics or current events.
Pol is getting intensely shilled, slided and censored. "It" is afraid.
Edit: The Russell Brand issue is showing how much of an impact he's having on waking up people. UK is going after him big time. I can't find the video I watched yesterday but it was good. Your standard older posh English guy did a video on the subject. (He's most likely at least 60, bald head and has a very large paper clip on the lapel of his suit.) He made it clear he didn't like Brand but it was wrong what they were doing. Brought up points on convicting people with out proof (smear campaign) and if they are going to do that to people they don't agree with the same standards should be held to MPs, celebrities, politicians, etc.
For that reason I rarely post on the main feed and usually watch my comments. About a month ago I got DM from admins saying comments deleted not on topic and other BS. I see so many posts and comments under posts that aren't Q yet they aren't deleted. I'm thinking maybe (could be wrong) some people are reporting comment/post. Maybe technology is so advanced admins are getting notified IDK. Years ago on facebook group admins could filter certain words that prevented the comment from being posted. Who knows and honestly I'm over it. I come here and read the updates a few times a week. I've got a lot going on in my life and I have less time for here. When I come here I scroll gen chat because there's a few people I actually enjoy reading their posts and talking to. When I started here there years ago seemed like anything happened in the world fueled by cabal, deep state etc was the norm for post. Not so much anymore.
You can still filter Group posts by keyword.
I’ve missed you MB. I am busier than ever, so I check in and comment. I’m not one to post anything, just comment and be a cheerleader for the ones that do. I appreciate all the ones that do the digging and bring it here. ❤️
Hey Suzy, I'm a few days late replying (story of my life). Thanks for your kindness. It's so good to be missed. When I'm away I'm thinking about you and several others I chat with. Take care💘
Since we are both Carolina Patriot Women I feel a kindred spirit to you. I know you have had a rough year and you are growing stronger everyday. We are in the fight of our lives and we have to be strong women so we can keep the men folk fighting on. God bless. 🙏🏻
It's very nice to have a kindred spirit. Yes, I've been through a lot this year and still going through some physical battles. I'm very happy because I've got an amazing husband, daughter and granddaughter yet very low down because I'm going through the physical problems. I don't post everything thing here because everyone goes through things and my problems aren't any different. Thankfully I've got a plan to get them addressed in the next few months. Nothing life threatening thank the good lord! After all that I've got to tackle the weight. I don't get out like I used to have become sedentary, soft and weak. Don't drive much just don't feel balanced yet. I've been through things almost as bad and I know I'll get better physically and emotionally.
I truly appreciate your thoughtful note. It means a lot!
If you don't know this song look it up:
Carolina girls
Sweet southern pearls
You're sho nuff tough,
Girl, I can't enough of you
Sweet Carolina girl
I love the way you walk
I love the way you talk
You're so fine, girl you're
One of a kind, sweet Carolina girls
Sweetie, you hang in there and persevere. God has way of speaking to us in our trials. Sometimes it seems that HE is nowhere to be found. I walked away from HIM for a while, and life was awful. I have felt him so close the past 8 years. Tomorrow will be the anniversary of my daughters death to cancer. She was an identical twin and was 3 years old. Even after 27 years it seems like a bad dream. A few years later my husband and I divorced. I’ve not been able to get seriously involved with anyone else and it’s been 20 years. But my other daughter has blessed me with 2 grand boys. They are 3 and 6 months. HE has been patient with me as I floundered around a bit. My advice to anyone fighting their own individual battles is to just take one day at a time. Don’t look past that day. Take care of you first. Stay strong, I know you will come out on top. ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks for your encouragement. Those that have been through trials come out stronger. Sure we may be a little damaged we earn those battle scars. (I'm always quoting "Hide Your Crazy" from one of Miranda Lambert's songs Mama's Broken Heart. Not as the title seems. It's basically about her mom is from the generation to hide her drama and she lets her feelings out. That's so much me and I never hide my crazy "scars".).
God has been a constant in my life as far as faith but over the last ten years I haven't been seeking his word. I don't go to church just got tired of the fake people. Other reason I don't sleep and once I do I don't can't function before 12 or later. Thankfully there's online church and I've been listening to a local church. A former coworker's husband is the pastor. Still got to work on discipline it's my worst weakness!!!
I can't imagine what you and your family have been through. My daughter is our entire world and it breaks my heart to hear this. I'm happy you have your daughter and grandkids.
Message me anytime if you need a friend. Take care 💘
We are being scammed and fleeced at every turn: noticed my hairdresser's bill included £1 Green Fee! I know its not much BUT WHAT THE HELL?
Check your hair. It might have been dyed green. lol
What does that mean? I'll see if my barber does it next time I go.
The only thing I can think of it that (due to Covid?) they now use disposable capes. Can't see what else it could be.
Wow disposable capes. You won't find that in US at least not where I am. That's one thing that kills me, everything used these days is plastic and ends up in the trash yet the law makers are yelling climate change and want to make gasoline motors, gas appliances, etc obsolete. If you have to give urine samples at doctor many people use the plastic bucket called a hat. I've reached that point and always ask for it. I couldn't believe they were thrown in the regular trash. Yet again I can because recycling was always hoax just something else to make people fall in line.
I remember a lot, (at 73 there is a lot to remember) My first job in a hospital was in 1968, at 18. There was no plastic. Part of the job of a nurses aid was to bring all metal and glass medical supplies, glass syringes, rubber tubing, bed pans, urinals, enema cans with rubber tubing, catheters, etc, to the Central Suppply. Everything was put in an autoclave for sterilization, so you would bring the stuff there, and get a cart that had wrapped in cloth and sealed with tape all the sanitized supplies. IV bags were the only disposable thing. And guess what? Compared to today, there were no rampant infections spreading through hospitals like there is now. Bacteria loves plastic. It forms a biofilm in less than 24 hours on the surface. Just take any plastic and leave it wet for that long, in a day it will feel slimy to the touch. That is biofilm, it turns faster than glass, and is also more porous than glass. The plastic used in hospitals does not go into a biohazard waste receptacle, only if it has body fluids or or a used needle that goes in the sharps container. So this used plastic is not incinerated, it just sits in the trash until the housekeeping takes it away. Sits there like a petri dish. I imagine a "green fee" is for things that have to be disposed of, like chemicals and dyes and "recyclables", empty nail polish bottles, which still contain the polish, etc.
I've been away a few days. Thanks for sharing your experience working in a hospital compared to today. I knew about the waste but not the high infection rates in hospitals. Makes sense why people get serious infections after surgery or being admitted. I keep detox herbs here for emergencies. In February I was in the hospital three nights and had two related surgeries in March and when I got home started the detox.
We have different bins for different rubbish in the UK, you can be fined for using the wrong ones. Guess where it all ends up. Definitely more about compliance.
We aren't fined here. You should see the trash on the roads in USA. In my opinion it's getting worse. Most of society has just gone to trash! We have a saying in the south "white trash" that's as bad as the N word as far as a negative description of a person. I have lots of white trash family I don't claim. I'm not saying it's one color or the other throwing trash out. I mean it's the label of "white trash" type of person that's becoming more and more the norm. No morals, theft, car jacking, robbery, murder is at an all time high here. I wouldn't even go pump gas alone right now. (Got a little off topic) What I'm getting at is the recycling scam still going strong and middle class people are still recycling yet people that throw trash out don't get fined. I read an article over five years ago about recycling. For decade or more USA was paying China to take our recycling. China stopped taking it and that's when it started going into the landfills. I didn't know this years ago but always laughed at people separating trash. Red box for recycling and it's going in the same trash truck as your garbage bags🤦🏻♀️ We have long ways to go before people wake up. Don't get me started on fossil fuels scam and earth is millions years old. Blessings to you fren☺️
Not defending slobs, not at all, but dump fees have gone up, and in this rural area, to have a contractor come pick up the trash, it is 8.50 a bag, if a person does not have a truck, old broken metals pile up, sometimes you can find a person who collects metals and brings them in and sells them. We take our trash to the dump, and we recycle because there is no charge to do that, if we take it to the town recycling center on Saturdays. If I am really careful, our actual garbage after recycling and composting only costs, at most, 17 dollars a week, I know some poor people let their stuff pile up, but maybe its because of the cost of disposing it.
I've been away a few days. Replying to your post of trash dump fees. I'm in Eastern North Carolina and live in the county. At least 25 years I've paid for trash pickup from a private company. We aren't charged for trash dump but two years ago you can't dump if you don't have a county dump card that's mailed to homes each year. The trash dump fees are included in the county taxes. I send them my bill for a credit on taxes. I think it's about $80.00 can't remember exactly way less than what we pay. I'll pay it because I can't stand trash bags piled up waiting to go to the dump.
Ah, nothing like a good moaning, let it all out fren - feel better.
NEW ,Dr Jan Hayes interview https://beforeitsnews.com/alternative/2023/09/dr-jan-halper-hayes-she-exposes-it-all-the-intel-you-cant-afford-to-miss-video-3799753.html
Still watching this ,so far very informative analysis/opinions by two very intelligent ladies, A MUST WATCH !!!!
Whatever it was has been deleted and now I'm curious EDIT link fixed, gonna watch tonight
Daylight savings time is horseshit. We need more light in the morning, not in the evening.
I agree with you 100%
I agree. Hate seeing the kids, especially little ones, waiting for the school bus in the dark!
Hate seeing the kids going to indoctrination centers.
Absolutely! Doesn't matter when the sun comes up. It's what's our future (kids) are being taught. Think about it if your child is in daycare or school those people spend more time with your children than you do.
THAT right there is the most horrifying part
Yeah, that too. :(
Wow! Just heard that the introductory Speaker for Zelensky in the Canadian Parliament was A war hero who fought against Russia..
I saw several posts here a few days ago. In the picture with Trudue (probably spelled wrong) and a woman there's a woman behind them in purple. Someone commented she's the great granddaughter of the SS guy. No telling how many are in plain sight we don't know about.
The name Jesus drives the devil crazy b/c the devil cannot handle the fact that God lowered himself to become a creature like man in order to save these creatures (us). This is why the devil is full of anger & wars against us- trying to drag us down to his level to show God that we are indeed worthless & to hurt God further.
And don't forget, he is also mad that God gave the domain of earth all to Adam and his descendants, unconditonally.
We’re already free and don’t even know it. That’s our current matrix.
Agreed that our slavery is voluntary, but can only be stopped when a big majority of humans realise this. Hence the GA.
Today's latest boycott. **AMERICAN EXPRESS. ** It seems American Express has lowered Mike Lindell's credit limit from 1 million dollars down to 100 thousand dollars. It is hurting his business and his employees. The left stops at nothing. It seems that Mike Lindell has a huge announcement about Voter Fraud I think on Wednesday, which means he is definitely OVER THE TARGET and so American Express is doing everything to stop him. I can hardly wait to hear the good news, but we must all do our part and boycott these stupid evil people. God bless.
That just drew a huge warm morning smile on my face: https://youtu.be/o82d9T4D-8I
Never heard this version before. Excellent
Loved Karen Carpenter, voice as smooth as honey, shame her short life was so tragic.
Fil, from Wings of Pegasus, has done a few videos on Karen (and The Carpenters). Here's just a couple:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HWB96ZLWUUw
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BCMyQD1-LYc
Edit to mention that the second video is more drum solos.
I still listen to The Carpenters. I'm introducing my grandchild to old music. Just eight months old and she will let you know if she doesn't like the music.
I do, too. Karen was one of a kind.
Bless you for passing on good music to the grandkid. I'll bet she'd really like the Andrews Sisters, no tighter harmonies before or since!
Thankfully her parents are music people so she listens to a variety. We have a playlist just for her. Some songs she sings to and others she chills if she's fussy. No child TV for her. We haven't listened to the Andrew's sisters yet they were way before my time. It's usually 60 & 70s, Elvis, R&B & country. Country genre is a wide area, we don't listen to the mainstream crap.
That's adorable. What songs does she sing or chill to?
Sorry I've been busy, being a grand parent is a joy and consuming. I watch older live music and videos on YouTube. One day I happened to have it on and (Meet Me in Montana Marie Osmond/Dan Seals) popped up. I always liked the song so played it. She got so quiet and stared at the screen. After several months she has what I call zanex songs and singing songs. She can be fussy and Do Wa Diddy starts and she just quietly stares. After that I started pulling up late 60 and early 70s songs. If it's a big band with lots of instruments she sings. Beach Boys, The Carpenters, Linda Ronstadt, The Eagles, Elvis, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Disco, Charley Crockett, Nat Rat (Nathanial Ratcliff), 60-70 R&B, live Eric Church and Chris Stapleton, Ray LaMontange, Brent Cobb, Miranda Lambert and probably more I'm not remembering. Between me, my husband and her parents she's exposed to lots of different music. For several years artists from different music genres have Outlaw Music Festival and I ran across Will The Circle Be Unbroken and she loves it. I think she likes the multiple instruments from the older bands. Hopefully she will always have good taste in music.
Her odds are better than most! "zanex songs" - love it🐸❤
I'm almost 65, so they were a little before my time, as well. Loved listening to them as a kid when my parents played them and still do! Lot of good music from back then.
The big bands were great. Glen Miller's, In the Mood is one of my favorites. When she gets old enough, teach her to dance swing and the Jitterbug. So much fun and good exercise, too!
I'm 56 I remember my grandparents listening to Boots Randolph ( same era swing band). I have some of the albums. There's a blues singer from 20s or 30s Jimmy Reed and I love his music. I found him watching Devine Secrets of the YA YA sisterhood. Liked him so much I bought a cd back then. I remember my mom talking about the jitterbug. She was a good dancer back in her youth. The shag became popular in the Carolina's in the 50s or 60s. Originated from black bands from up north and then it became an entire following people dancing on the beach to the music. I think it was from the bop dance and the feet sliding in sand formed a new dance. I'm uncoordinated so I never learned. It's still a big thing today we still have beach music festivals old bands that still play and new ones. I don't go because it's a big drunk fest. Used to go in high school. It's fun music and I still listen occasionally. I'm weird depending on my mood is my music taste for the day. I listen to Led Zeppelin if I feel like crying😂 Sad songs when I'm happy. I have to separate the artists from the music because I'm learning so many have been corrupted or used by the system.
I've got two left feet, but was taught and could dance a tame version of the Jitterbug. Hated disco, so was very happy to see a swing revival with Brian Setzer, Big Bad Voodoo Daddy, Squirrel Nut Zippers, etc. Always wanted to take a ballroom dancing class to really learn the JB and all those other wonderful old dances.
I, too, have eclectic music tastes and listen to all kinds of stuff. My favorite classical would have to be the Carmina Burana. When I was in High School, all the local school bands and choirs got together and performed it. Was awesome, gave me goosebumps. Later learned it was written in low latin and low german and was a rather erotic piece for the time. Good thing none of us knew old latin or german! 😄
https://youtu.be/K9TmMfnZyY4_
Most people don't even know she played the drums, much less, how awesome she was at it!
That video sure did show how thin she was getting, though. From the back, you could see every rib through her shirt. She was only 5'4", probably had to hold on to something when the wind picked up. Hard to believe she survived seven more years like that. So sad.
I don't remember the source now, watched or read about her life. Her mom was the cause of her anorexia. Her brother was the favorite and Karen couldn't live up to her mom's standards. It's a testament to Karen's character that she didn't resent her brother. Parent's can do some 💩 to their kids.
I assume monarch until proven otherwise
So true!
Wow!!! I'd never heard that before. What a jam!
I have a wild concept: What if we create customers union as opposed to trade unions? (Not to be confused with customs union.) As the name suggests, a customers union is an organization of customers, just like a trade union is an organization of workers. The objective of a customers union is to keep a business's service quality in check, and may be given powers such as vetoing pay raises when certain customers demand is not met.
That would just lead to more doxxing, control, inflation.. unions destroy free market
In a free market, unions of any kind are not necessary. Market will take care of correcting what ever is lacking - price point, service quality, etc
Concur. What the public needs is information; the decisions follow quickly. Right, Bud Light? How's it hangin', Disney?
But what have unions ever done for us? Something called the weekend?
Kek
Is it worth being owned by the Mafia tho
Although, like any benefits, workplaces who want to compete for the best workers would do things like that.
Does anyone have a link about the changes Donald Trump made to the Federal Reserve and Treasury? Like he made the treasury over the Fed? I’d like to research but I’m having a hard time finding anything.
Investigate the CARES Act changes to financial stuff.
Thanks, I thought it was done in an executive order so thank y’all for remembering it was the cares act.
This is a very complex issue done under the very noses of the Banksters.
Remember the $2 Trillion coronavirus pandemic bill (also known as CARES Act) ? Well, it seems embedded inside it was wording that essentially merged the roles of Federal Reserve with Treasury, specifically with respect to the issuance of the funds for the pandemic relief.
Cares Act
WSJ article criticising this, but at the same time confirming that this indeed happened.
Thanks I’ll start there
Try the author of this blog. https://badlands.substack.com/p/the-banking-revolution-is-underway
Not just this article which I picked at random, but look through his stuff because he has very good financial analysis, and one of his blogs specifically did the Fed, although most of them touch on it one way or another.

Oh but we love to judge others. As if we can throw the first stone.
A Song: https://youtu.be/TuH0UgU5wAs
Hmmm.
Have a blessed day.
Oh Lord. Protect the innocent. In Jesus' name, Amen.
The end of the Sermon on the Mount from Matthew chapter 7
24 “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. 25 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on the rock. 26 And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. 27 And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell, and great was the fall of it.”
This.
Building a house that can withstand the storm means we need to keep the commandments of Jesus. Faith over Works is gravely misunderstood by today's Christians, partly thanks to Martin Luther's interpretation of "faith" and "works".
What Apostle Paul meant by "works" is the ritual observance of the law in the manner of Pharisees and Sadducees. The Pharisees follow the oral law, whereas the Sadducees follow the written law. The oral law resembles today's church traditions, and the written law resembles the misinterpretations of the scripture.
