ROUGHLY QUOTING:

“Jurymandering” is moving the Trump Georgia trial to Federal Court because the State Court trial will draw jurors from a mostly Democratic voter pool where as the Federal Court trial will draw from a larger less Democratic pool.

This was a very acute compact way to describe what was going on.  I just wanted to capture it for posterity so proper credit can be given for the insight.

It makes the obvious point about a “fair trial” in a political Law-fare!

INSPIRATIONAL: One man’s effort leads to reestablishing a species

Wednesday, August 30, 2023

To Halt Ibis Extinction Austrian Man Shows Birds a New Migration Route With His UltraLight–And it’s Working

By Andy Corbley – Aug 21, 2023

*** begin quote ***

An Austrian ornithologist has pioneered an incredible way of wildlife rehabilitation by fostering chicks of an endangered species before re-instituting their migratory practice by leading them along their natural migration route with an ultralight aircraft.

The method was developed to help reconnect the northern bald ibis, a bird that was extirpated in Europe 400 years ago, with its summer-winter migration pattern from northern Europe to its sunny southern climes.

*** and ***

Fritz came to the rescue again, hand-rearing chicks on ground mice and beef heart 8 times a day, while letting the inquisitive, gregarious chicks investigate his ears and nose for curiosity’s sake.

This was all a part of getting them to the age of flight when he would lead them again in his ultralight aircraft along a 2,500-mile circumnavigation of the Alps to a new wintering site on the sunny Spanish south near Cadiz

*** end quote ***

A heroic effort.

And just goes to show when one committed “crazy” person can accomplish.

That’s conserving nature for future generations.

No.  You’re tasking a GUARANTEED loss.

ConspiracyTheories: Was the WTC an inside job? Seems possible but maybe plausable

The Demolition of the World Trade Center (The Devil’s Trick)
Guest Post by Mark Gaffney

*** begin quote ***

Way back in 2007, a physics professor at Brigham Young University, Dr Steven E. Jones, turned up critical evidence while investigating samples of World Trade Center (WTC) dust. The samples had been collected immediately after September 11, 2001 from the thick deposit of dust that blanketed the WTC site and much of lower Manhattan. Jones found tiny bits of an exotic incendiary known as thermate that can cut through steel like a hot knife through butter. Thermate burns at ~5,000°F. The main product of the reaction is molten iron.

Thermate differs from its better known cousin thermite in that it contains sulfur which lowers the melting point of iron, speeding up the reaction. The presence of both sulfur and aluminum was diagnostic for thermate. Jones called this “the last nail in the coffin.” (Dr. Steven E. Jones, Revisiting 9/11/2001. Applying the Scientific Method, 2007)

*** end quote ***

In my hierarchy, I’ve always teetered between Level 5. Possible and maybe 4. Plausible.

After reading this about thermate and small nukes, it explains why “the pile” was so “hot” and how the steel structure could have “burned”.

The factoid about thyroid cancers is another pebble on the scale.

I doubt I’ll ever know.  We’re just finding more stuff out about the JFK assignation now that makes a laughing stock out of the “official story”.  Same with the RFK assignation. 

So believe what you want, but I’m begging to suspect that the “lizard people”, our evil overloads, had a hand in this.

Argh!

RANT: Was saline injected to improve the safety profile? That’s just fraud.

Monday, August 28, 2023

https://palexander.substack.com/p/jim-torma-is-on-fire-here-tweeting?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=579356&post_id=136244194&isFreemail=true&utm_medium=email

Jim Torma is on fire here TWEETING with the troubling issue of the SALINE factor in the COVID vaccinated! This is Torma’s TWEET below, the saline factor could horrifically change the final numbers; if 1/3 of persons were given saline, then the percentage of persons being harmed and dying would be far greater for the number of harms were DILUTED by the saline; I/we need to run some numbers

Dr. Paul Alexander

Aug 20, 2023

*** begin quote ***

I think Torma is onto something and one of the key issues is that they unblinded the study by giving those in placebo the vaccine.

‘You see I was listening to 97.7, the What % of people injected with a needle of “stuff” were given saline around the world. Pfizer admitted in the recent hearings in Europe that their employees got a different “COVID” injection. Can @JackPosobiec please ask this extremely important question? 

*** end quote ***

Now, that’s an interesting charge.  

Deliberately obliterating the control group of the study was criminal enough.  Fudging the numbers with saline was a deliberate criminal falsification.

Will anyone be held accountable?

That’s a joke on “We, The Sheeple”

INTERESTING: If DJT45 rips up the “bail agreement”, then all hell would break loose

JD FOSTER: This Proves That Trump’s Prosecutors Are Playing Politics, And It Has Nothing To Do With His Charges

  • J.D. Foster is the former chief economist at the Office of Management and Budget and former chief economist and senior vice president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. He now resides in relative freedom in the hills of Idaho.

August 25, 2023 12:02 PM ET

*** begin quote ***

Whether you love Donald Trump and are daily festooned with MAGA paraphernalia, or despise everything about him, if you reflect on Trump’s trials you may have a real whiskey, tango, foxtrot moment.

The problem isn’t the indictments and whether they are bogus and political or sound and prudent. The lawyers and the courts will duke it out and someday we’ll know, or at least we’ll have the best answer the system can produce. No, the issue is Trump’s bail. 

*** and ***

If Trump were willing (I heard this notion so it’s not original with me), then he should change his mind and tear up the bail agreement. Show up, be arrested, and then be taken to jail. The Secret Service would immediately invoke their federal authority and force the county to empty out the jail to ensure the former President’s safety. Then watch the thousands, then tens of thousands, then more and more come to the jail to protest. Even MSNBC would be forced to cover it. 

Or, more likely, watch the Court and Willis squeak like little mice and say, never mind, Mr. Trump. See you in a few weeks. There would be plenty of embarrassment, but not for Trump.

*** end quote ***

I LOVE this idea.

Fascinating that humans survive against all odds.

Sad that they have such dismal futures.

Interesting what is shows about the need for a human family.

DISCOURAGING: Yet another sign that the world is becoming a different place

Ukrainian Basilians confirm permanent closure of beloved Toronto Marian shrine

  • ‘In other words, the ‘Shrine’ is permanently closed,’ announced Fr. Gabriel Haber, the Provincial Superior of the Order of St. Basil the Great of St. Josaphat.

Clare Marie Merkowsky

*** begin quote ***

TORONTO (LifeSiteNews) — A religious order has decided to sell a Marian shrine beloved to Toronto Catholics and well-known as a source of many reported miracles. 

On August 15, Fr. Gabriel Haber, the Provincial Superior of the Order of St. Basil the Great of St. Josaphat, announced that the order is in the process of selling their Toronto-based monastery which includes the Marian Shrine of Gratitude, as faithful Catholics continue to pray the shrine will be preserved.   

*** end quote ***

Again, the world is declining in entropy.  

“No Margin; No mission”.

Perhaps, if there had been an admission charge, then the place might have survived.

Sad to see the beautiful places being absorbed by crass materialism.

The people are robbed by the fiat currency system such that they have no wealth left to donate to the beautiful places.

Where and when does it all grind to a halt?

Scientists Find A Whole New Ecosystem Hiding Beneath Earth’s Seafloor
By Andy Corbley – Aug 15, 2023 

*** begin quote ***

“The discoveries made on each Schmidt Ocean Institute expedition reinforce the urgency of fully exploring our ocean so we know what exists in the deep sea,” said Wendy Schmidt, president and co-founder of Schmidt Ocean Institute. “The discovery of new creatures, landscapes, and now, an entirely new ecosystem underscores just how much we have yet to discover about our Ocean–and how important it is to protect what we don’t yet know or understand.”

*** end quote ***

I’m continually amazed at all the fundamental scientific discoveries we keep making.  The Johari window http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johari_window seems have a huge quadrant 4 (I can’t see; you can’t see) content.

Fascinating.  And, encouraging that there is so much left to discover.
