For whatever it is worth - consider that - like the old Rice Krispies tv ad for those "treats" the happy housewife make - she dusted her nose with flour and explained "these things take time" to impress her family.
These also "take time to impress" - release the passengers around the world, allow for inclubation time, more exposure time to develop, until the deaths mount, rinse and repeat...
Maybe it will take a few more months to get it big enough to declare us all to head home and hunker down, until "they' can build enough of those internment camps that wanted to make 5 or 6 years ago. Again, just me thinking creatively. They will pull something to try to keep us from the midterm voting booth - that's my guess.
I appreciate your observations, particularly regarding Catherine Austin Fitts, etc. I respect her intelligence and experience, but have a hard time trusting her views.
It is just an intuition of mine that I cant quite put my finger on - that she is right in some ways that fit her world view, but that she doesnt quite "get" the whole picture, or something like that. Just that something seems off, incomplete, hard for me to verbalize.
Maybe I just hope for a happy ending somehow - the third one - better than any of us deserve. Improbable, probably, but we can dream.
For whatever it is worth, (not much) , I do not find Erika Kirk believable/trustworthy either, but certainly not enough to attack her so harshly and personally. Why Vivian would be so nasty toward her is out of line, in my opinion.
Erika seems to be, to me, just a typical type of female opportunist, wanting to be a "somebody", but may not have the background/education to achieve independently on her own. Hitching herself to Charlie Kirk's success seems a viable strategy - (women have been doing this for centuries). She appears (to me) now as trying to take advantage of the worst possible hand fate sent her way by the assignation of Charlie.
Perhaps she might be forgiven for doing her best in face of such a sudden loss, considering her grief may be clouding her judgement and choices under such pressures?
I would respect Erika more if she chose to focus instead on her young children, who now need more direct parental involvement and attention than the best nanny available. These little ones need the best and I hope Erika will move out of the spotlight and avoid trying to replace Charlie's political power, for her children's sake.
I do think Vivian has "jumped the shark" in reaching such heights of vitriolic emotional charged rhetorical accusations... she is embarrassing herself, and should stick to overwrought exaggeration. She has accomplished nothing in attacking Erika, and should refrain from piling on.
Thank you! Excellent observations, and helped me understand why I am feeling very unsettled about this entire "situation". Too much doesn't makes no sense and way much more is at stake.
I am wondering if we will ever be able to trust our "government" again, no matter which "side" wins the "socially acceptable" scenario for the great unwashed of us out here in cyber world?
A short report of how my two Malinois protected me from a too close encounter with a very large coyote, and fortunately for all three of us, the Mals were not on LEASH in the situation described below.
My male started a serious heavy alarm inside, at our patio sliding doors. At night, with the living room lights are on, all I could see is our reflections in the glass doors. Usually, the female is not "allowed" by the male to do "yard duty" - (he isnt allowed "under bed" privileges by her inside the house - their rules. (offensive snarling, immediately respected by the offender)
This night the inside/outside rules about varmints were suddenly, and shocking to me, no longer applied.
Shadow, the large male, had our female (Hanna) at the door within seconds. I opened the patio door, and - to my horror - right up on the patio deck & right up at the door - a nasty looking coyote.
I learned a lot that night. Instantly, like a pair of shotguns, almost knocking me over, barreling right out the door, in full snarl, both dogs went. I remember Shadow took my left side - the coyote's right -, and Hanna took my right side, the coyote's left. Momentarily, I was terrified, envisioning a horrible dog and coyote fight.
Didnt happen that way! Shadow took one side, Hanna the other, and proceeded to "air snap" and snarl over either side of the coyote's snout. Then they literally, backed that coyote off our deck and the slate patio, out across the lawn, the rest of our property. They wouldn't let the coyote even turn around, as they had him corralled on either side. This continued then even further across a field and then past a neighbor's drive into the woods beyond.
The two Malinois actually "bum-rushed" that coyote clear across our property and the neighbor's and the road between. No guns were required. HOWEVER! There were two dogs and one coyote. What would have happened had there been 2 coyotes, or three? I wouldn't want to find out.
Those two Malinois did not need training or signals from me. I had never thought to train for a situation like this! Their instinct clicked in - knew exactly what to do to protect me and the property, because the genetics behind breeding of this particular breed. Leashes are good in some situation, and no so good in others. What was the right use in this situation is too complicated to call.
Here is how I can see a better end to the incident -
My unleashed Malinois could have taken down Allen without a shot fired or Alan seriously hurt. The Mal is quicker to act in a surprise situation, for one thing, and for another, weight of a perp is not a factor.
My 45 lb. bitch could take a 250 lb man down within seconds, body and all 4 paws in the air, punch, punch, then following up with "bite and hold" on the lower forearm, totally controlling the perp, then not allowing the perp to move a muscle.
BUT, not if they are leashed -
I do not understand why the K-9 officer didnt, at least, instantly release the dog, so it could take down Allen without the need for guns in a crowded environment. Unless, perhaps, he was worried that the dog could be shot by one of the other officers in a cross-fire situation? That would make sense.
I am an owner and trainer of Belgian Malinois - and I totally agree with your observation. It appears that many police K9 officers do not understand how to train and/or handle the breed, perhaps not understanding the differences between the Malinois and the German Shepherd - It makes me sad to see this happen.
This is particularly seen when trying to use the Mal for repetitive tasks. Really bad use of a brilliant independent dog, seriously unsuited suited for checkpoint/border entry type tasks.
They work best the way an owner or handler would work with the dog, completely "off-leash" - as in herding and/or scent work. They excel at patrolling and defending all comers in rural areas, chasing away varmints and intruders, but not on leash! But this is just my opinion, based on the many years I have lived with and loved this breed. These dog are not suited for boring suburban yards, delegated to "pet" status. And, not for amatuers looking for a "status" dog.
I am old enough to remember that song, and can sing all the lyrics.
And, if you want to hear the lyrics, here's a link.
I was Church of England before it went over to the dark side (back in the 1960s). I am still an Anglican in my heart, but no longer support or attend now because of the "changes" since then.
The Roman Catholic Church leaders are now "falling away" in the same downward direction - sad to see. Is it the long slow slide into "Revelation" I dont understand why so many of the faithful dont recognize it, or do they just assume the church leaders know best?

A serious life long knitter here - my other job? Architect (building, not computers, but loved the advent of computers for design, drafting.
A lot of Asberger's/Autist women are knitters. We love to design and make stuff, and we think differently than "typicals"
Thank you so much for this explanation! I am a really old lady who intuits that AI is totally dependent of the integrity of whoever is doing the programming... a new buzzword, so to speak. And, that is might be considered an "equivalent" to being mathematically "dressed up and ready to intimidate" us average joes and janes.
In other words, whoever wins, and gets to writes the AI program could eventually control our lives?
I am a very elderly lady now, and my beloved husband is now deceased... but back about 1966 when we were "courting" as they used to say, we talked one beautiful spring day as we walked in Mill Creek Park, Youngstown Ohio.
He responded to one of my questions about why we seemed to be going the wrong way (back in the days of protesting all over campuses, down south, etc...
He told me that people seem to all fall off one side of the horse at a certain point in time... then, recognizing their error, they would then decide to correct the error, but then go too far, and fall off the horse on the other side.
We were not that serious, just wondering about how/why those "current events" were turning so darkly rebellious, and then what might be the result.
I think you are right about the potential for a harsh and equally over-reaction amounting to a similar quagmire. This is the Forth Turning. We may not make it this time without our collapse into anarchy, and I then think of the poem.
"On Dover Beach".
Dont these idiots realize that the MMR vaccine seems to wear off about the time teens head off to college? That when these boys end up with the vaccine wears off, they get the Mumps, and then infertility can result, rending them impotent?
Is this a plan, or is it ignorance. And, what else are these idiots going to jam into these vaccines without testing or telling us about it.
I feel so sad for the mom and the kids - this will stay with them their entire lives.
I don't know how anyone in this family can get over something like this. What the father did is unforgivable, and only God can help them heal.
I am wondering ...is it possible that there are gender differences between males and females with autism that affect how hormones, behaviors, and social expectations make it harder to identify autism in females?
Woman, for instance, may mask their feelings/behaviors, conforming to expected social norms and expectations. These may not be as easily identified and categorized. Just wondering aloud.
I also control all my autoimmune "diseases" by sticking to a strict Carnivore Diet. I have Hashimoto's, Sjrogrens, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Microscopic Colitis.
By sticking to Carnivore, I can avoid the prescriptions! All except the Levothyroxin and the Elliquis (for Afib). I hope you can relieve the pain associated with the chronic illnesses, and keep the prescriptions to a minimum, as it will be a big help!
The docs you mention are where I go for info and learning! Ken Berry is the very best!
